A FREE Community Means We Valentine’s Art Date

Some of the most wonderful gifts don’t come from stores. They come from the heart!

This Valentine’s season, grab a kid (or a grown-up) and come make something for someone special. Each of you will create your very own 5 x 7-inch handmade book filled with ten things you love, appreciate, or treasure about someone in your life.

Maybe it’s a favorite memory with Grandma, something funny Dad always does, a special friendship, or simply ten reasons why someone makes the world a better place.

Using colorful papers, collage, drawing, words, and imagination, we’ll turn those ten thoughts into ten little works of art. We’ll decorate our covers, assemble our pages, and bind our books with colorful ribbon to create a handmade Valentine’s gift as unique as the person receiving it.

And here’s the fun part: both the grown-up and the child make their own book! Everyone gets to be the artist, and everyone gets to give a gift from the heart.

No rules about being a great artist or finding the perfect words. Draw it, write it, collage it, or invent your own way of saying it. Kids have a lot to say, and so do big kids.
