Newspaper heart banner for valentines

I saw this heart banner today and fell in love with it! So much that within hours we were making ours. I couldn't wait. I took some pictures while we made them but if you want a DIY see HERE. She has one already done.

Sierra had a friend over today and even though they were really busy playing Minecraft together:

They also really enjoyed stopping to make this activity. My plan was for them to all do their names for their rooms but Sierra and Matthias decided to write LOVE instead for Valentines Day. Aayla made hers with her name and I think it turned out sweet...they all did.

I'll let the pics speak for themselves.

Aren't they just perfect?
