Clara has been helping me to decorate the house in time for Valentine’s Day, and there has been lots of crafty goodness going on around here!
For this little project, I invited her over to sandwich heart-shaped sticky notes and color coding labels onto pieces of string.
We usually have sticky notes and color coding labels on-hand for quick, easy, no-mess crafting.
She had lots of fun doing this, and it’s great fine-motor practice too!!
Next, I tied the strands onto a chopstick to make a heart mobile and hung it for display in our foyer. I hope it makes guests smile as soon as they enter our house!
Super quick, frugal, and very festive!
Have fun!!

Very cute – I bought my daughter a HUGE heart shaped hold puncher for Christmas. She will have a blast punching out different colored hearts and making this decoration for Valentines!

Yay! I’ve been eyeing up a big heart-shaped hole puncher for awhile now myself.
Have fun!!

This is the second of your projects we’ve done in 2 days! We did the love bugs (so cuuuuute!) and we just finished this mobile. My kids (4 & 7) enjoy crafts, but they LOOOOOOOOOVED this one! Especially my 7 year old son. We didn’t have sticky notes so we cut out our own hearts and stuck them together and on the string with double sided tape. (An item I never would have owned or known the magic of were it not for this amazing blog!) Just wanted to say thank you for all your ideas. I seriously check every day to see if there’s something new. Thank you for helping me create memories with my kids!!!
