How To Make Valentines With A 1.5 Year Old

First, meticulously prepare everything. I drew a bunch of hearts all over these two sheets of paper. There were finger paints, roller paints, crayons and cubes of frozen water with food coloring. We even went out and got stickers from the drugstore down the street that morning!







Step 2, deploy the toddler. Watch him destroy it all get creative. True to form, he wanted to eat the finger paint and the rollers. The ice was left to melt in random places, including but not limited to the doorway and Mom's shoe.



















Try to tempt him with the stickers you just got.



















"No thanks."
