Valentine's Day Picture Frame Kids Arts & Crafts Project Idea Tutorial

Use this simple dough recipe to make a heart picture frame for your loved ones on Valentine's Day.

Making items out of dough is much like baking cookies or bread. The cooking time may vary with individual ovens, so you'll want to check the dough frequently to be sure it doesn't get too brown. The finished product should be puffed out a bit with golden brown edges. Allow the dough to cool for about five minutes before removing it from the pan. If you don't use nonstick pans, be sure to spray your cookie sheet first with nonstick cooking spray.

CRAFTS MATERIALS YOUR KIDS NEED TO MAKE THIS CHILDRENS' ARTS AND CRAFTS ACTIVITY:
* 1 cup flour
* 1⁄2 cup salt
* 1⁄2 cup water
* Mixing bowl
* Cutting board
* Rolling pin
* Small, heart-shaped cookie cutters
* Nonstick cookie sheet
* Cooling rack
* Oak stain
* Varnish
* Paintbrush
* Glue gun
* Thin calico ribbon (approximately one yard or enough to go around the perimeter of the frame)
* Cardboard picture frame
* Two cinnamon sticks
