Please tune in tomorrow to @Fox59 for non candy Valentine’s Day ideas.
I can’t believe it’s time to start thinking about Valentine’s card ideas for kids. I love the idea that Valentine’s Day can be sweet without the “sugar.” Try these adorable DIY crafts. These ideas are low-cost and a healthy alternative for kids. You can find these items at any grocery and craft store. (Target, Michael’s, Wal-Mart).
