Mirror-Image Heart Card

Show double the love with mirror-image hearts! Create personalized cards with Crayola Color Changeables™ markers for any special occasion.

1. What happens when you look in a mirror? You see yourself in reverse! Every mirror image also has a line of symmetry. You can fold one in half (usually in your imagination) and both sides will be the same.

2. Fold your paper to form a card. Divide the front of your card in half either vertically or horizontally by drawing a line with Crayola® Erasable Colored Pencils.

3. Using Crayola Color Changeables markers, draw and color a symbol such as a heart, cupid or a flower on one half of your card. Use the color-changing wand to make patterns and designs pop out from the background.

4. Repeat the same design on the opposite half of your card using different Color Changeables shades.

5. Add borders around your designs to tie everything together.

6. Open your card and write a message to a family member or friend.

Adult supervision is required for any arts & crafts project.

"What a fun way to see if students understand lines of symmetry and mirror images. I could immediately assess their knowledge."
Zahaida T., Saturday school math tutor.

"Using mirror images is such a creative way to make Valentine’s cards. We added glitter glue to make them even more festive!"
Mona E., mother of ages 7 and 10.

Did you know that the first Valentine’s Day card is said to have been sent by a French knight held captive in the Tower of London? After he was captured in a battle, Charles, Duke of Orleans, sent his wife a card in 1415.
