DIY Easy Valentines Day Card Idea

This is the first Valentines Day that Nora could make something special for her dada and her new favorite activity is coloring! I wonder if she gets that from me. I can give her a few crayons and paper and it keeps her busy for at least 30-45 minutes and for an 18 month old that is completely priceless. She worked pretty hard in creating this master piece and I even let her use fancy paper- which I think she took very seriously.

Supplies:

• Crayons
• Fancy Paper- if you choose- I used water color paper for the card and then just regular printer paper for the photo.
• Sharpie
• Scissors
• Glue Stick
• a talented toddler- or any toddler will do. technically most dogs have the brain of a 2 year old- so dogs are more than welcome to participate.
• some sort of cookie

Steps:

• Have your talented toddler color her artistic masterpiece on the water color paper.
• Print out a photo of your toddler and then cut it out.
• Cut your water color paper into your card size and fold in half.
• Glue your photo onto paper
• Take your sharpie and out line a heart on your toddler.  I took the picture of Nora holding a heart  but it's not necessary- you can just draw one in.
• Then allow to dry and reward your toddler and yourself with that cookie you have in your supply list.
