- Draw a large heart on clay using marker
- Cut heart out with knife (this is for you)

We did this today and had loads of fun! I have a 3 yr old and almost 2 yr old and a 7 month old! We also cut out a big circle and all pressed our hands on it and then baked it and then painted it and decorated it with glitter! It will be a lively V-Day present for Nana! Thanks for the recipe and the idea!
