This is a super fun holiday all about showing love for each other. My kids love making homemade valentines for their friends and so I rounded up our favorites for this year. Simple, cute, and cheap. WIN!
Love Bug Valentine
Supplies:
Gummy worms (or other gummy bug)
Cardstock
Scissors
Snack bags
Stapler and staples
We found a bunch of free printable’s for this valentine online but my kids also wrote out a few of their own just for fun. Either fill out or create your own “to” and “from” card, fill up snack baggie with your bugs and seal, fold card-stock printable over the top and staple it to the baggie. Viola! Super cute and tasty.
Race Car Valentines
Supplies:
Card-stock
Hole punch
String
Toy cars
Markers or colored pencils
My girls loved this one for the boys. We found a value pack of cars at the store and they decorated the cards by hand. We hole punched a hole on either side of the car and tied them on. It was almost too easy and I am sure the boys who received them loved it!
You Blow Me Away Valentines
Supplies:
Toy recorders (bundle pack from the dollar section)
Card-stock
Markers or pencils
And tape
Of course kids love anything that make a super obnoxious sound so this valentine was a big winner. We found bundle packs of these small recorders at Walmart in the dollar section. After tracing a heart template, the kids were able to trace and cut out hearts of their own to write on and tape to the recorders. Cute, cheap, and noisy!
