Activity Days - Valentine Heart Garland/Service

For Activity Days last night, we made these heart doille garlands. I completely stole the idea from here (thank yo so much, I didn't have anything planned until I saw this idea).

I have to say, we had 4 girls and it was touch and go to get this done in an hour. I wouldn't suggest this if you have more than 4 girls (or a lot of helpers). It is a great idea and I love the service/love ideas that the girls get to do each day. I told the girls if they would do what was on each heart each day, I would sign an activity off in their Faith in God books. I figured if they did 14 days of service and love, that was worth signing off an activity in their book.

Also, we didn't stitch the hearts together, we glued them together which was probably as time consuming as stitching. You could also staple the heart doilles together too (to make the activity quicker). Also, you could hole punch a hole in the top of the heart you print on cardstock and tie fun coordinating ribbon to it (to help the girls be able to pull out each heart better) adn add to the cuteness of it all.

Again, love the idea and think it is so cute, festive and fun. I just didn't anticipate that the girls would have such a hard time with it all. But in the end, it worked out fine and they had a great project to take home with them.

And the image of the garland is from Tip Junkie (thanks again).
