Gratitude Heart Strings

​My kids and I had fun pulling together these simple Valentines Day decorations last year.

We created a simple hanging using different beads and foam heart stickers stuck back to back on colored twine..  What made it special was the secret paper bead. We took a long narrow strip of plain copy paper and glued the very end to the colored twine.

You then can write in teeny tine letters a secret message. It could be a variety of things:

  • A secret love message

  • A list of the items and people that your kids “love” - a really fun question to ask those littles. On my 2 year old’s list was “Poppi (his grandfather), cereal, and goats - ha ha  

  • Write all the things you love about a specific person and gift the wall hanging to them, let them discover the secret message themselves.

It was sweet to put them up this year and look back on the things and people had listed that they loved, those goats brought a smile to my face.
