So, the craft calls for your kids to make peas for all the family members in your house. The sweetest thing about this (which I never could’ve predicted) is that my kids apparently consider a lot of my closest friends family. When they were cutting out the circles, they were calling out my best friends’ names. And there’s also a pea for the dog 😍That seriously warmed my little heart. Enjoy!
