Scatch n' Sniff Valentine Cards






Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching and on Friday we will exchange cards with our friends. Today each of the children designed their cards in Publisher and we printed them on white cardstock. Next we mixed one package of Kool-Aid to two tablespoons of warm water. Using our ‘paint’ we accented various items on the cards. This works best on items printed off a laser jet not an ink jet.

When the paint dries it makes wonderful scratch n’ sniff cards! Caleb painted the hearts on his cards with cherry flavored Kool-Aid. Abigail created Lemon scented pearls on her valentine day pig and Frankie painted orange scented flowers on her cards.

It will take a little bit of time of the cards to dry, so try to prepare them at least a day ahead of time. With the left over ‘paint’ the girls painted scratch n’ sniff pictures!
