Our Experience With This Creative Valentine’s Day Card

We love Valentine’s day crafts and this year we decided to make our own Valentine’s day cards. We can give these cards to loved ones, friends, family, teachers.

Both, my young and older kids, were able to make this Valentine’s heart card. They turned out very different, but each card is super special! I hope your family has as much family as mine did making these homemade Valentine’s cards.
