All you need is some wax or crepe paper, watercolor paper, crayons, and a bowl of water to get started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To begin, fold your watercolor paper in half. Then, create a heart shape using scissors (you can help the little kids with this step). Next, write down the receiver&#8217;s name using crayon. Finally, take pieces of crepe paper and use them to paint the cards. Be sure to cover the surface before you begin to avoid stains!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Valentines-Day-Noodle-Necklace\"><\/span>Valentine&#8217;s Day Noodle Necklace<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" src=\"https:\/\/www.greatwolf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Pasta-Necklace.jpg\" alt=\" adorable holiday crafts\" class=\"wp-image-12497\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.greatwolf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Pasta-Necklace.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.greatwolf.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Pasta-Necklace-450x300.jpg 450w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Making noodle necklaces is a pretty routine activity among preschoolers, and it can also make for a fun Valentine&#8217;s day craft.
