Valentine's Day Keepsake for your Little One - 14 Ways I love you!

It's hard to believe Valentine's Day is just around the corner.  This is a great craft to the entire family will love, and will be a cherished keepsake for years to come.  It's simple, thoughtful, and should only cost about $5 for a family of 3 (even less if you have coupons!).


Sharing positive affirmations with the ones you love is a great way to boost each other's confidence, feel appreciated, and see the good in each other.  This craft is to tell your family what you love about them, in 14 days.  

Start before February first, by cutting out all your hearts.  Then, when February 1st rolls around, write down what you love about each family member.  Each family member gets their own heart from each person, each day.  Continue until February 14th.  So for a family of 3, each family member will get 28 hearts.


Hang each heart on the wall, or keep them in a jar and wait until Valentine's Day to read them all. Afterward, punch a hole in the top left corner of each heart, and thread string through, tying them all together in a book. Create one final heart as the cover with the date, and save throughout the years.


It will be special to look back on over the years, and will hold many memories about where each family member was in their journey of life.

Below, you can find a template of hearts to use.  Pick out any color card stock you like, and run through the printer.  Happy Valentine's Day!

What you need:
A few sheets of card stock in any color
Hole Punch
Scissors
Metallic Marker (Or any pen)
String
Clothespins (Optional for hanging on wall)
