Keep the little ones busy and entertained by helping them make this simple arts & craft project for Valentines Day
What you’ll need
- Paper
- Scissors
- Markers

How to make it
- Cut out a strip of paper that’s about 18 by 2 1/2 inches, and fold, accordion style, in 2 1/2-inch sections.
- On the top layer, draw a heart, either by hand or by tracing around a cookie cutter. Remember: Just as with a paper doll chain, the sides of the heart should extend out to the folded edges.
