Heart Stamps
I am always looking for fun, simple crafts to do with my 2 year old and 4 year old. Just in time for Valentine’s Day, I came across this easy project full of love. Heart stamps made from toilet paper rolls! Genius idea!
Because we are making these hearts for Valentine’s Day, I dug out our red and pink washable paints.
Next, I formed a heart shape with the paper roll. Then, I secured the shape with tape.
Finally, I handed it to my little men and they created beautiful, but messy, works of art.
They had such a great time working on these pictures, that the next day we did it again. The second time we we used different colors and experimented with different shapes.
Love the way this turned out!!! Check out Instagram to see the experimental art from round two.

Simple Ribbon Heart Place Card
Originally published on Feb. 1, 2016. I’ve put a lot of projects on this blog over the past couple of years, many of which are pretty detailed and take quite a bit time. But I absolutely love an easy project and today’s is just that. This simple ribbon heart place card requires minimal supplies and is super quick to whip up.
This post contains affiliate links. Click here for my full disclosure policy.
Here’s what you need:
- Ribbon
- Scissors
- Hot Glue Gun
- Paper
- Alphabet Stamps
- Stamp Pad
(I found these pretty, neutral ribbons a few weeks ago at World Market and knew I had to have them in my stash.)
To start, cut two equally sized pieces of ribbon. Mine were about 5 1/2 inches each.
Then, run a small bead of glue along one side of one ribbon and attach the other ribbon to it to create a heart shape.
To make the name tag, cut a small banner shape from a piece of paper and use the alphabet stamps and stamp pad to write the name.
Finally, add a dab of glue to the middle of the heart and attach the paper banner. Aren’t these cute?
These would be perfect for a party or even for a Valentine’s Day dinner. And, you could always change the wording on the paper to fit whatever occasion you choose. So many possibilities!

Starting Plants In Toilet Paper Rolls
Do you remember the adorable heart shaped stamps I shared around Valentines Day? Well, this time I am bringing you a completely different use for a toilet paper roll. These little cardboard tubes make a fantastic, decomposable home for starting plants.
First, I started saving our empty toilet paper rolls, paper towel rolls and wrapping paper rolls months in advance, so I was prepared to begin the seedlings.
I thought about writing directly on each one, but my two little guys helping me with planting and their listening skills weren’t exactly the best. They would put seeds in whatever spot they wanted. My system of coloring coding toothpicks worked amazingly. After the kids sewed the seeds, they placed a toothpick in the corresponding paper roll.
This key will help me later with identifying each plant.
