Fun Valentine's Crafts

The other day, I signed Gracie up for a Valentine's Day class. I went with her and it was taught by one of her teachers so she was super excited. Here are some Valentine's crafts that we made.
For one, we got to paint our hands different colors and make flowers. A cute, handmade gift that will melt any mother's heart. And let me tell you, anything that involves my kids handprints, I keep! They are only going to be this little once!

Then we got to decorate a flower pot. We colored popsicle sticks for stems and attached hearts and foam stickers to be flowers. We even filled it with dirt. Don't worry, ours is sitting in a sunny spot so that the "flowers" grow.

Then we got to paint a wax paper heart with some gel paint. We then pressed another wax paper heart on top and hung it in our window for a lovely stained glass heart.

Finally, we got to paint half a heart and then fold it over and press the other side down so that the other half matched the first one.

This wasn't part of the class but Gracie was pretty proud of her tower of love that she made for Princess Belle. She worked really hard and had to rebuild it once because Evie knocked it down. Here is my princess with her lovely tower.
