Heart button designs for your loved ones

HENRY started with sorting buttons in a muffin tin. This would be a great way activity for older toddlers learning colours, I’ve shared a bunch of toddler learning activities for colours, shapes, letters and numbers.

SUPPLIES:

1 Red 12×12 piece of scrapbook paper

1 Pink 12×12 piece of scrapbook paper

School Glue

Buttons in all different colours and sizes (the brighter the better!)

Cut out a large heart from the red piece of 12×12 scrapbook paper and made a swirl design in glue around and around the shape of the heart.

METHOD:

Henry just added buttons as he liked all around the heart until it was filled up. I joined him in adding buttons just as an activity for us to do together.

Henry wouldn’t have it with my previously mentioned color selection and used every single color.

But I think that adds a lot of character to the heart as compared to if it was all reds and pinks. This surely brightens it up a lot!

Then I glued the completed button heart onto the pink piece of scrapbook paper at and angle to make it fit nicely and then propped it up against a picture frame on my mantel… and its oh-sopretty.
