HERE ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF MAKING HEARTS IN NATURE
(BUT FEEL FREE TO COME UP WITH YOUR OWN): 

#1 - Land Art Hearts
Land art is art that is made directly in the landscape, sculpting the land itself into earthworks or making structures in the landscape using natural materials such as rocks or twigs. 
To make land art hearts with your kids, gather leaves, twigs, flower petals, rocks, pinecones - whatever you can find outside - and shape them into a heart (or two or three). Leave them for others to find and enjoy!

#5 - Painted Heart Rocks
Yes, this is exactly what it sounds like and oh-so-much fun! Hunt for rocks with a flat surface that will be easy to paint. Then grab a paintbrush and some acrylic paint in Valentine’s Day colors of your choice, and go to town! A super simple, yet eye-popping design - paint a heart on the rock and then outline it with a black sharpie pen. It will look amazing and you or your child now has a gift to give to a Valentine.
Here is one way to turn your rocks into a Valentine: https://www.ilovepaintedrocks.com/2019/01/valentines-day-painted-rock-painting-ideas.html

#6 - Ice Hearts
Ice hearts are another super simple craft to do with kids. All you need is a heart mold and food coloring. Fill the mold with water and a little bit of food coloring and then place the mold in the freezer (or outside if it’s cold enough). Wait until the water freezes and then use a little bit of warm water to pop the hearts out of the mold. Voilà! Beautiful ice hearts! You can use them to make an ice heart garden in the snow!
