Valentine Fingerprint Rock Hearts

Make Valentine’s Day extra special this year with these keepsake Fingerprint Rock Hearts! Little kids will love dipping their fingers in paint to make these adorable hearts and big kids will enjoy drawing in faces!
Keep one for yourself as a keepsake and make several to hand out as cute Valentine gifts for friends, family or classmates.
