Step 1
Help your children create decorations for a Valentine's Tree. Cut out red and white hearts from construction paper. On the hearts help children write the words Happy Valentine's Day, I love you, or You are Sweet. On top of each heart punch a hole. Put a piece of string through each hole and tie it. Children will probably need your help tying the string into a knot. Finally, hang the Valentine's Day ornaments on your indoor Ficus Tree.
