Cute Heart Craft With Baking Soda
Love is in the air and I have a fun activity your kids will LOVE. 😉
I love doing crafts with my kids, even though they are older! This is great for any age kids and the perfect way to spend time with them. They will love watching the cool chemical reaction and be able to put on their helping hands to construct it.
