Directions
Tape the paper to the table. Bend the ends of toilet paper cardboard tubes into the shape of hearts. Pour a different color paint onto each paper plate. Invite your child to dip the cardboard tube into the paint and then make a heart print on the paper. Use cookie cutters in the same manner. Allow your child to continue exploring, covering the paper with hearts. Display the art once the paint has dried or use as a special placemat for a valentine lunch or dinner.
