Classroom Craft - Heart Leis

Here is another classroom craft we have done recently in Kindergarten for Valentine's Day.  This one is thanks to Marie at Make and Takes and Craftzine for the tutorial.  It was really easy to do the supplies in bulk: cut out and hole punch hearts, cut up straws and measure string for necklaces.  One note, I discovered that wrapping a bit of tape around one end of the yarn, prevents fraying and frustration and makes for easier lacing.  The children all loved wearing theirs.

Also a great craft for making patterns - AB with the straw then heart, then ABCD (or whatever) with the coloured hearts.
