After seeing a cute hanging heart on another blog I began thinking about valentines day. Jacob has some lovely friends who we wanted to make them for so we set about a big painting session. We got red paints and lots of tools (cotton reels, potato printing hearts, brushes, sponges, rollers, straws) and set to work.
Jacob had such a great time and loved getting messy (unlike his daddy!). He most enjoyed using the roller (and obliterating all the loves stamping we did!) and making footprints.
One it had dried we cut out big heart shapes, added a ribon for hanging and glued them together leaving a little hole for stuffing. We stuffed them with old carrier bags and glued up the holes. Hey presto - gorgeous hanging hearts. We added a message for Jacob's 'girlfriends' and delivered them with a kiss on valentines morning. I think they liked them!
Later on Valentines day, Jacob and I baked some heart shaped cookies for his hardworking daddy. I think he liked them as he ate about 6 within 5 minutes of walking through the door!
