We had a candy-fueled adventure in paper and glue...I was reminded that kids have such a truly sweet expectation of a craft; grateful for the fun of it while it lasts, and satisfied with their results, no matter how simple they be.
A few bits of folded construction paper and some oddly shaped hearts and they were set, golden and ever so pleased with themselves! Some candy, a bow tied with little fingers and voila! Valentines for 62 classmates among my three little ones...done!
I loved that the kids did this with little guidance from me -- I have a tendency to overdue, to amplify and to complicate matters, to be truthful. They showed me that less can be so much more when it comes from the heart.
Happy Heart Day.

Great kid project. I also have the tendency to "help out a little bit too much" and suggest this and that. Sometimes is best to just sit back and let them be creative! Happy Valentine's Day
SIMPLY beautiful, Jen ;)
