Valentine's Day Projects

This year I wanted to make a memorable Valentine's gift for family members using the kid's hand prints. This was a fun project that I did with the kids to capture these sacred little hands because they just seem to growing up too fast. This was definitely an interesting experience with my son Hudson who is just 6 months old. He has never been a crier however he shed some major alligator tears with this project. I could not help but laugh because out of all things in his precious little life, painting his hands was the most dreadful experience. Ava on the other hand loved this project. I am beginning to see that I have passed on my artistic qualities to her because she has become an amazing little artist at just 4 years old.

The other project that I did with Ava was her school Valentine's cards. My mom had sent plain white hearts with foam stickers for Ava to decorate. I had her color and write her name on the hearts and decorate with the stickers. I did not expect this to be such a time-consuming project but it took a couple of hours for her to do about 24....little perfectionist :) I had her include little Valentine fruit snacks for each kid too since we all love yummy treats!


Happy Valentine's to all!
