Valentine DIY |

I had all these grand plans for what Maya and I were going to do for the Huz for Valentine’s Day. Then…I lost my car keys (the ones we had lost the spare to a few months earlier :{). I spent 4 hours searching our house top to bottom (87 times!), and then finally gave up. So, our crafting time was a little cut short. We still had a blast, and truth be told, the 30 min we spent on them was probably her max anyway 😉

It all started when Maya said “It’s a heart!” on our walk a few days ago, pointing to a pile of rocks. Of course, I’m like “No, those are just rocks.” “HEART!” as she tugs me to pick one up. And what do you know…a heart! And I knew we would give it to the Huz for Valentine’s Day. 🙂She has the eyes of an eagle, that one…What you need… (for the Valentine’s)

Tarp or sheet for easy clean up 🙂
Card stock paper or I used a cardboard insert that had come in clothes I bought online. Yes, I save everything just in case. Yes, I was so excited to finally use some of my hoarded craft supplies!
Glue
Glitter
Foraged goodies. We used both mini pinecones and obviously the “heart/rock”
Empty Box (to contain the glitter bomb and glue)

What you do…

Since we were doing this for Valentine’s Day, I cut little hearts out in different shapes. We gave the hearts as Valentines to Maya’s brothers and a few friends 🙂 You could do circles, or just sqares/rectangles. If you have a fun corner punch that would be cool too! Those are SO addicting!!

Put the “cards” in a box and let your toddler drizzle glue all over them.
Then, while glue is still wet, have them go to town with the glitter!

I took these next images with my phone. Didn’t want to risk getting my camera glue/glitterized 🙂I had a jewelry box that I had saved (duh), that I just glued two of the hearts onto for the box.
