Levi and I made some decorations for Valentine's Day last week. If you notice, in my post on Elli's day, I made a bunting/banner for over the dining room window. There are a few more through the house, too.
I saw this craft on a blog I read sometimes, and thought it might be perfect for Levi - turns out I was right, he loved it! It's so simple: just a bunch of cut out hearts of varying sizes, and one big heart. Grab a glue stick and some wax paper and you're set!

He did so well with the glue stick, I couldn't believe it. Hardly any mess on the table to clean up at all.
I also couldn't believe how focused he was. He sat and worked on this steady, until he had every little heart glued on his paper. It must have taken a good half hour and then some, but he kept working at it until he had it all finished.
Now, at the end, the idea was to cut the large heart out so it was just that with the small hearts inside... but Levi decided the hearts belonged everywhere... and then "don't cut mine hearts, mommy!". So I didn't.
And I wanted to put it up in the window so light would shine through it, but he "meeds it on the wall". So on the wall it went.
At any rate, cut out or not, window or wall hung, he sure was proud of himself!
