Valentines Crafts

I think art is really important for children. So recently Veronica and I have been doing a lot of coloring, drawing, and painting. I've been looking at different craft blogs to get ideas not only for myself but for Veronica to do as well. And I found a post where have your hand prints in the shape of a heart. Since Valentine's Day is coming up I thought we could make something special for Daddy, Grandma and Grandpa Elmer and Papa and Grandma.

I'm letting V get her paint wiggles out before we start the project.

She kept sticking her thumbs out. The top one resembles a heart the most.

The finished product. I had to change it up and paste the hand prints on a heart so it actually looked like what its supposed to be.

Here is the heart she made for her Daddy. It says, "I love you, I love when you take me outside, I love when you push me on the swing and I love Chewie (Our puppy)."

I asked her what she wanted to say on each one and for Grandma and Grandpa Elmer she said "I love going to your house, I love eating yummy food, I love family (she originally said I love Noah, Luke and Jacob but I shortened it and included everyone).

For Papa and Grandma's it said, I love you, I love going outside, I love looking at the chickens, I love Chewie.

She obviously didn't use sentences but she gave me a list of things she liked and that was good enough for me. Happy Valentine's Day!
