“Roses are red,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Paint them timeless with art.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Because if you create it,<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

It stays in your heart.”<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Okay so YES – I know I’m corny- but I just can’t help myself.\u00a0 I’m one of those people who loves<\/em> Valentine’s Day. You’ve probably noticed that hearts are everywhere lately because it’s the time of year that we show our love. (Although showing your love is always cool.) At Sparketh, here are 3 of the things we<\/em> love most!<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Art (bet you saw that one coming).<\/li>\n
  2. Opportunities to be creative.<\/li>\n
  3. Helping you nurture your inner artist!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    In honor of Valentine’s Day (and showing our love for the above things), our team has put together some\u00a0 kid-friendly art ideas that you can try out at home for Valentine’s Day. Below, you’ll find several free art tutorials, online art classes from our course library, and 2 heart-themed art contests that we are hosting this month. We hope you enjoy trying some of these art ideas out at home in celebration of Love Day!<\/p>\n
