Be My Valentine

Valentine's Day is this Friday, February 14th, and for kids, Valentine's Day is all about the excitement of handing out cards and expressing their friendship to one another. It's a festive day, and so much fun for kids to really show someone that they care, by sharing their interests and expressing their love through the cards/gifts they give each other from the very bottom of their sweet hearts. Altho cards are not exactly fashion, they do make me (and kids) smile, which is why I am dedicating today's post to Valentine Cards. What I am finding out is how much more elaborate Valentine Cards are/can be these days--versus the Strawberry Shortcake boxed cards I remember handing out to my classmates when I was my sons age. I have come across many craft ideas for Valentine's that my son, Mario, Loves (so do I), and which are easy to do for kids of any age. Below are some of my favorites, your little one can choose to express their care to a single sweetheart, or to a whole classroom by saying "Be My Valentine". If you Don't have your Valentine Cards for your Little One already, here are those cute ideas... most are free downloadable templates or printouts! 

If your Child can hand out Sweets, they will be a hero when they hand out these Caped Cute-saders.  These Supertreats are easy to make with free downloadable templates for masks and capes that your child can write a message on- from spoonful.com.

This DINO-MITE card  shows, love is far from extinct. It is so easy to make, all you need to do is cut out a heart shape using card stock, write a message, and tack a small plastic dinosaur to the heart.  There will be Big Love for this Valentine Card- from spoonful.com.

"You Make My Heart Race" Valentine's Collection is perfect for your children's friends, this is my sons favorite Valentines. It is an instant digital download from Paper and Dip on Etsy; you just print on card stock, cut out ,fold, place car in a plastic bag, and they are good to go!

These Friendship Bracelet Valentines can easily be made by keeping the bracelet a basic braid, and the card is a free download file! I Love these and thank you dandee-designs for such Friendly Valentines!  

A fun craft project for big and small! Tattly Little Love Notes include 8 die-cut note cards, 8 heart stickers, and 8 temporary tattoos. I Love Temporary Tattoos for kids, see my post "Temporary Tattoos", where I  have more options I love and a link on how to make your own Temporary Tattoos- which would be a cute easy DIY alternative to these Tattly Tattoos!
