Heart-shaped cookies and crafting... That's what the after-school hour is going to look like around here on Thursday. I love celebrating Valentine's Day with the littles and I especially enjoy keeping them engaged and entertained with fun and festive activities. These adorable DIYs are perfect for February 14. Or, make one beforehand to gift to a friend, teacher, or grandparent.. How sweet it is!
