Once the lemon juice dried, it was time to reveal the magic. It took her several hearts to figure out how to fit her message without running out of space. It’s a good thing she loves cutting because she had a few dozen to cut out! I had her make several extra in case she made a mistake when writing with the invisible ink.Īfter squeezing a lemon to get its juice, my daughter dipped the Q-tip into the juice and wrote her secret messages on the hearts. It was a bit of a challenge at first as she figured out how to keep the pencil right along the side of the heart she was tracing. She traced heart shapes on pink, red and white cardstock. My 6 year-old, however, wanted to cut out heart shapes to make more classic-looking cards.

What kid doesn’t like a little bit of magic?! Add in a sweet message and you’ve got a sure fire winner for Valentine’s Day.
