Happy Valentine’s Day!

This morning the children enjoyed making tie die hearts. This is an easy project you can try at home. You will need a white coffee filter, bingo dotters or food coloring, an eye dropper and water. Cut the filter into a shape or leave it round, dot colors on the filter with the bingo dotters or drop the food coloring ion the filter with an eye dropper. After your filter is colorful drop water on the filter and watch the colors run together. Move the wet filter to a dry paper towel and let it absorb the water. Once the filter is dry place it somewhere to be admired.
