“#Toddler’s art warms seniors’ hearts on Valentine’s Day<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

This New Jersey toddler has an art of gold.<\/p>\n

Two-and-half year old Bella Singer loves painting \u2014 especially with a lot of time on her hands during the pandemic. Her mom keeps all of her artwork and, like many a proud parent, can\u2019t bear to throw any of her efforts away.<\/p>\n

Now the potential clutter is making hearts flutter!<\/p>\n

The little girl and her mother, Husniye Temocin Singer, 37, came up with the ingenious idea of transforming Bella\u2019s passion pieces into uplifting Valentine\u2019s cards for senior residents at area nursing homes.<\/p>\n

\u201cFebruary 14 is usually a special day when many families meet up and app<\/a>reciate one another,\u201d Singer said. \u201cBut this year\u2019s holiday is different because the lockdown is preventing a large percentage of the elderly from seeing \u2013 let alone hugging \u2014 their relatives.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey deserve support and encouragement so we can reassure them \u2014 through even the smallest gestures \u2013 that others are thinking about them,\u201d she continued.<\/p>\n

The Singers\u2019 secret morale-boosting sauce involves Mom cutting hearts out of Bella\u2019s paintings, gluing them to card stock paper and hand-writing heart-warming notes inside. The affirming phrases include: \u201cYou are very loved.\u201d Bella likes to accent the final product with stickers.<\/p>\n

Ever since mid-January, the dynamic duo has worked hard to create around 400 cards from Bella\u2019s designs. They recruited dad, Tony Singer, 53, to help them hand-deliver the surprises to more than a dozen nursing homes. All were within driving distance of their digs near Livingston in places such as Jersey City, Montclair, Union and East and West Orange.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are always trying to teach Bella the importance of kindness, sharing, giving back and respect toward the elderly,\u201d explained Singer, who moved with her family to the suburbs from Manhattan\u2019s Upper East Side last fall.<\/p>\n

The seeds for the Valentine\u2019s Day pick-me-ups were planted over the holidays, according to\u00a0nj.com<\/a>, who first reported the story.<\/p>\n

Since Bella and her folks could not spend Christmas with her grandmother Betty Singer, 81, currently isolating in upstate Ithaca, she sent her a comforting card that gave grandma goosebumps.<\/p>\n

After that, Betty\u2019s daughter-in-law believed it was only fitting to spread the same holiday cheer to other isolated seniors throughout the year.<\/p>\n

Bella and her mom now plan to pay it forward for Easter and other holidays.<\/p>\n

This baby Picasso\u2019s artistic bent is no doubt influenced by her late grandfather\u00a0Arnold Singer<\/a>, a noted professor of Fine Art at Cornell University and leading expert in lithography.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe would be delighted to know his granddaughter is sharing her art with others,\u201d said Singer. \u201cIf it brightens their day, Bella will be honoring his legacy.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n
