Our Experience With This Valentine’s Day Card Craft
My kids and I are still on the Valentine’s day train. We are making so many cards for our loved ones. They wanted to make them for teachers, friends, their grandparents, cousins, aunts, uncles. Basically all the people they care about. And they care about a lot. Which is a great thing! But we have been making cards like crazy!
It’s been really fun seeing how my kids Valentine’s day cards are turning out. The toddler’s are turning out much different than the older kids. But they’re all wonderful and full of love.
I love seeing their creativity and how they make each card unique for each person. It’s wonderful to see. I hope your family has as much fun making these Valentine’s day cards as we did!
