a fun Valentine's project to do with your little one!

Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I thought I would share a fun little project I did with Henry this morning that you might want to try at home with your little one. My Mom is an elementary school teacher and always comes up with the best creative ideas- this is something she did with us when we were little and it's neat to be able to do it now with Henry.  You can also find variations of this project all over the internet from blogs to Pinterest, so if you missed Valentine's, you can always tweak it to fit the occasion.

It's easy as can be- simply take an empty toilet paper roll and bend it into the shape of a heart. Have your child press it into washable paint, and then stamp it onto paper. You can have them go crazy with tons of colors, or stick to red like we did.

If your little one can't yet sign their name like Henry, you can do it for them. Be sure to date it too, so you can always remember when your kiddo created their masterpiece.

Happy Valentine's!
