I’ve seen this all over Pinterest and decided to get the girls to tried it out for Valentine’s Day. It was the perfect craft to talk about shapes and to practice their cutting skills. It was helpful to make some lines on the paper for them to follow depending on the age. By draping it across a mantle or even hanging it vertically, it’s a quick and pretty way to add some hearts and a bit of Valentine’s into your décor.

This is a fun one to make together and actually is really pretty to hang up at home! There are a few steps to it which make it even more fun but depending on your child’s age and attention span, you may want to split up this project into two parts (mobile + ribbon hearts) or even just make the pretty hanging ribbon hearts.
