Once your paintings are dry all you need to do is fold them in half and cut out a heart shape. We used postcard size cardstock paper and glued the hearts to the center. On the back of the postcards we wrote our current Bible memory verse, Isaiah 43:4a, which fit perfectly for Valentine's Day! 


"You are precious in my eyes and honored, and I love you." Isaiah 43:4

 These lovely Valentine's Day post cards can be given to loved ones, classmates and friends. We chose to make enough to give one to every resident at a local assisted living & memory care facility. We are always looking for service projects for the kids and this month the kids asked to do this with their finished Valentine postcards.
