Valentines Day Tree
I love cutting and making snowflakes and my little girl loves pink hearts! Julia of Roots of Simplicity sent me this wonderful activity which combines both of our loves. This activity is perfect for you to do with your preschooler. It is a great way for your preschooler to work on fine motor skills like cutting and folding paper and also a great opportunity for you to explain and demonstrate mirrored images to your child.

Preschool Craft Materials:
- Fallen branches
- Office paper scraps
- Colored construction paper
- Scissors
- Vase
What Julia and her kids did (in her own words):
“These quick cutout hearts were created like paper snowflakes. I cut various papers into heart shapes and then folded, cut, and unfolded them. My daughters and son enjoyed hanging them on the tree. My eldest daughter thought the hearts looked like colorful butterflies alighting on the branches.”
Isn’t this just a beautiful table-top decoration? Thanks Julia for sharing it with us! Go check out her blog for other craft projects and money saving tips!
