This year, show off your child’s adorable Valentine’s cards in this DIY Valentine’s Day Craft display made from a recycled AprilAire water panel. They likely feature their classmates’ favorite television characters in silly situations or cartoon animals with cute, punny sayings like “Bee Mine!” or “You’re Un-BEAR-ably Cute!” Perhaps your little one even prepared a specific Valentine for that special someone in class.
