Work with your kid(s) to create homemade valentines for people in their lives that wouldn’t normally receive one like the neighborhood dry cleaner and a favorite babysitter. Sometimes a small gesture can mean a lot to people and teaching kids that while they’re young may make an impact.
Great selection of books for varied ages. Thanks Sarah!
