Valentine's Day Countdown

Anticipation might be the best feeling in the world, which is why countdowns are so much fun. For Valentine's Day, I wanted to do something to help us feel the love at our house and add more meaning to the year's most mercurial holiday (really lovely or horribly lonely).

We'll use the embroidered felt hearts I made last week to create a Valentine's Day countdown tree. Starting February 1st, we'll add a heart to the "tree" (some curly willow branches in a large vase) each day and, even more importantly, also select a small act of kindness to complete that day.

Here are 14 ideas simple enough for even your littlest ones. You can download the printable here.


14 Small Acts of Kindness
  1. Hug someone
  2. Secret pixie a friend (i.e. drop off a treat, ring the doorbell, run)
