Valentine's Family Tree

This week in art we made Valentines for the parents. I found this idea in the Feb. 08 issue of Country Home (countryhome.com) and adapted it. We cut out a simplified family tree, turned it over and wrote the family surname on the trunk. Mother and Father's name went on the roots, and all the children in the family's names went in the branch area. The background was made by writing out I Corinthians 13-The Love Chapter-in gold ink on a white paper, then copying it in color onto pink or purple paper. (Not too expensive at home.) After glueing the tree onto the background paper with rubber cement (rubber cement causes no wrinkles), we added heart stickers: small ones for each child and a large one at the base of the tree to represent the marriage.
