Free Printable Washi Tape Valentines
I know people can have... feelings about Valentine's Day. It can be cheesy and depressing and lots of other not great things, but I have found that I kind of love Valentine's Day with kids. We like to make heart shaped pizzas and make punny valentines for their friends, and really it's all just fun and low pressure.
