Block Valentines

I have been trying to find a Valentine craft that is simple enough for a two year old. Unfortunately a lot of them require too much cutting or other things that are just too difficult for my toddler to do. I end up doing the entire thing by myself which I am not complaining about, but would rather have my child more involved. I recently came across this idea from Parents.com. I love the one on their site. The light pink with mint green letters is a fun and unique combination. Unfortunately when you are doing a craft with a toddler that they are able to do they get to choose their colors. Maybe I micromanage a little too much because it was hard to relinquish creative control. They turned out great though and Grace is very excited to give them to her dad.
There are a lot of other really great ideas for easy Valentine crafts on Parents.com. Check them out here. All of them are forms of printmaking which was a really fun way to teach my toddler about that unique type of art and how different shapes and textures create different designs.
