Valentine's Day is wildly popular with children because the theme of love is one they can easily grasp. They also adore the bold, bright colors and heart shapes that appear everywhere, not to mention the abundance of candy this holiday brings!
When February fourteenth rolls around, encourage your child to create a homemade gift for the most treasured people in his or her life. Your little one will see that expressing love to others soon brings displays of love in return!
Step by Step:
- Glue a paper doily to a sheet of red construction paper.
- Fold the pink construction paper in half and cut out a heart that is slightly smaller than the doily. If your child can't manage scissors yet, you can pre-cut the heart.
- Trace your child's hand onto the pink heart (or paint your child's hand red and make a handprint on the pink heart).
- Glue the heart onto the doily.
- Write a message from your child on the hand.
