Our first graders learned a new technique while expressing their feelings about their love of family. After they drew a crayon heart and wrote some words they connected with Valentine's Day, the students had some extra fun completing their project. They covered the drawings with tissue paper, then "painted" water over the tissue. The color from the tissue paper was absorbed by the drawing paper everywhere they hadn't colored with crayon. The results are beautiful and colorful Valentine sentiments for some lucky family members. Click on any image below to see the rest of the valentines.
