Delight Your Kids With An Easy Valentine’s Day Craft

Everybody loves to feel loved. When your child knows he or she is loved, it helps them develop the confidence and security they need for proper emotional development. Valentine’s Day presents a perfect opportunity to tell your children you love them, and we’ve got a simple, Instagram-worthy activity you can do for the next two weeks that will give them daily reminders of your love.

The concept is easy. Every day starting February 1, decorate a paper heart with a reason why you love your child. Then tape the hearts to their bedroom door and by the time Valentine’s Day arrives, the door has a beautiful display full of hearts.
