I have a very unique craft for you today.  I’m going to show you how to make a Potato Heart Stamp for Valentine’s Day.  Yep, you read that right…. a stamp made from a potato.  It is such a clever idea, isn’t it?  And yet…. so simple.  You can make Valentines pictures and Valentines Cards with your Potato Stamp.  You will need a little help from an adult for this craft as it does call for a sharp knife.  An adult will use the knife to cut the top of the potato off.  So, make sure not to start this craft without an adult present.  So, with that being said grab an adult and the materials needed and let’s get started.
