Mario's Homemade Valentines: Will Zoo Be Mine?
It finally rained in San Francisco this past weekend, making it the perfect time to stay indoors, tidy up, and prepare for our big move. We also worked on making Mario’s Valentines for his preschool class—a very exciting milestone for him! This is his first year handing out Valentines, and though it was also his first time making them, he was a total pro.
Mario was thrilled to help and took his responsibilities—adding stickers to the tags and cutting the twine—very seriously. He was so proud and happy to contribute! Of course, being three years old, he couldn’t resist playing with my husband’s vintage typewriters whenever he got the chance. Since he loves typing so much, I let him hold down the shift key for new words. Sometimes he got so excited helping that he held the key down a bit too long, making each tag uniquely special—just like Mario!
Supplies:
1. Vintage typewriters - you can also use a computer or alphabet stamps
2. Kraft paper tags - you can also make your own
3. Heart Stickers - we used foam glitter heart stickers
4. Heart Paper Doilies
5. Red & White Baker's Twine
6. Plastic Zoo Animals - we used Safari Ltd Zoo Babies
Mario was so proud and happy with the final result.. I must admit, Mario and I made very cute Valentine's for his preschool class.
