Love is in the air on Valentine’s Day, but it doesn’t have to be romantic love only. Saint Valentine’s Day, observed annually on February 14, started as a celebration of intimate relationships, but has now turned into a joyful occasion to celebrate all amicable feelings.  In addition to diamonds, candlelit dinners, and bouquets of roses indulged in by starry–eyed lovers, we exchange Valentine cards, candy, pins, perfume, chocolates, and other tokens of affection with our near and dear.

This simple Valentine’s Day wreath is a lovely gift children can make for parents, grandparents, or a favorite teacher. The idea comes from http://www.dltk-holidays.com/valentines/mvwreath.html, a useful source of holiday themed arts and crafts projects. You may want to bookmark the site for future reference.
