    <div class="icon-cards__item d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center"><span class="h1">😊</span></div>
    <div class="icon-cards__item d-flex align-items-center justify-content-center"><span class="h1">😀</span></div>
  </div>
</figure>

<div class="checkbox">
  <input class="d-none" id="toggle-animation" type="checkbox" checked />
  <label class="checkbox__checkbox" for="toggle-animation"></label>
  <label class="checkbox__label" for="toggle-animation">Toggle animation</label>
