My son's valentines this year


After last year, I realized that hand-made valentines for 3 and 4-year-olds may not be worth the work. But then, I was in AC Moore and saw these adorable heart-shaped puzzles. I had to make the valentines again this year and use the puzzles. I hope you enjoy! They were so fun to make!
