With the invention of Pinterest, parents can find all sorts of amazing crafts to keep their kiddos busy. In our home we love to create our holiday decorations for each special day. I was inspired by all the adorable crafts that include paint samples swatches to make a Valentine’s Day wreath. I went to one of the local hardware stores and asked if I could take a handful of the paint swatches for a project. They were very kind and helped my two little girls pick out Valentine’s day colors. To create your own Valentine’s Day wreath follow the simple steps listed below. For more Valentine’s Day crafts or projects for kids, follow Springfieldmoms on Pinterest.com.
