Valentines Day

Combine science with art in a project that let your children's love truly glow! Make a simple electrical circuit with a small bulb / bulb holder. Cut a small card rectangle and glue foil on one side, then fold in half. Attach wires ,one to one half and one to the other with wires exposed on the foil side. This will make a simple switch for the children to turn the light on and off.
Next take a coleslaw tub and make a slot in the base to feed the wires and switch through. Attach the light bulb / holder to the base inside the tub.
To make the heart draw around the top of the tub on red card. Use a template to draw a larger heat around this circle and cut it out. Inside the circle draw as large a heart as possible and cut it out (You should now have 2 heart shapes on 1 piece of card. Glue red cellophane / tissue paper over cut out inner heart on the reverse side. Glue heart over top of the tub, press the switch and watch your heart glow!
