Valentine Fun



Cheap, easy, and fun to make.... these valentines are a heartfelt way for your child (or you) to spread the love. My two year old had a blast doing most of the work, I helped with glue and scissors of course. They can also be altered for any holiday as neat gift tags.

Step 1: Have your child paint a large sheet of construction paper, any way they wish. The smudgy mess of two year old art, actually comes out quite nice in the end.

Step 2: When dry, tear into small (but not too small) pieces. About one inch, odd shapes should be great.
Step 3: Arrange onto another large sheet of construction. Paint over the whole thing with white glue. Sprinkle some glitter over the wet glue. Let dry again.

Step 4: When dry use a stencil, cookie cutter, or freehand hearts all over the sheet of art. Cut them out and write the names of your loved ones on the back of each. These cute valentines are sure to bring a smile to the face of anyone who receives them. And your child will feel proud to have done most of the work.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY
