• Use different shapes instead of hearts.
• Write down goals instead of stuff you love about yourself.
• Write on a heart everyday, kind of like a journal, until you fill the envelope.

Our Experience With This What I Love About Myself Craft

As a mom, I want my kids to know they’re talented, special, and loved even on bad days and in difficult situations they may face. I don’t think a lot of us practice self-care and learn appreciation for our true self, so I thought this craft was perfect.

It’s almost Valentine’s day and we focus on loving everyone else that I think we forget to learn to love ourselves and realize our self-worth and have compassion for ourselves. We overlook the good and focus on the bad.

And these positive affirmations paired with creativity I think is a great way to remember to have patience with ourselves. There are so many things we are good at and I want my kids to remember that. I hope your kids loved this what I love about myself craft as much as mine did!
