Keep the little ones busy and entertained by helping them make this simple arts & craft project for Valentines Day

String of Hearts

What you’ll need

  • Paper
  • Scissors
  • Markers
  • Cookie cutter (optional)
  • Glue (optional)

How to make it

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Cut through all the layers of paper except where the sides touch the fold.
  4. Decorate the hearts with markers or glue on pieces of paper.
