Heart Collages

You and your child can cut out hearts to make a collage. You can use different colors of paper and cut hearts of different sizes. If your child wants to use blue or green, that’s okay. They don’t have to use traditional Valentine’s Day colors. In the years to come when you pull out a Valentine’s Day collage covered in blue hearts it will remind you of the year that their favorite color was blue. If you prefer not to cut out all of those hearts, you can use a heart punch or foam hearts.
