- Spray hearts with paint, letting dry between coats. Do both sides.
- When completely dry, prime the surface of hearts by rubbing side of chalk over painted
surface.

 Dots of Color Hearts
What you need:
- Yellow chalk
- Tempera paint
- Cotton-tip swabs
- Paint tray
- White drawing paper
What you do:
- Sketch your picture lightly with yellow chalk. The faint lines will brush off easily
when your painting is dry.
- Outline the main shapes of your picture with cotton-tip swabs dipped in paint. Use a new
swab for each color.
- Fill in the shapes with more dots. For smaller dots, pull the cotton away and use just
the cardboard stick.
 Marble Rolling Hearts
What you need:
- Tempera paint
- Marbles
- Spoon and small dishes
- Box lid
 What you do:
- Pour paint into dishes and drop two or three marbles into each color. Lift them out and
set them on paper taped in the box lid.
- Tip the box lid so the marbles roll around. When the paint is used up, dunk the marbles
back into the paint-add new colors.
- Try taping a smaller piece of paper in the middle of the larger one. When you lift it
off, you’ll see a white design left behind!
