Valentine's Day is one month from today, and we are already getting excited to celebrate!
One of our favorite activities every year is making homemade valentines for family and friends. Usually, I just give my kids paper, scissors, glue, stickers, etc. and let them create an open-ended card, but occasionally we come up with a clever saying to include. Here are a few of our favorite easy homemade valentines from years past.
Acrostic Name Poem Valentine
Collage Heart "I Love You to Pieces." I also used the same saying "I love you to pieces" and gave each of my kids a new puzzle for Valentine's Day one year.
Pencil Butterfly
"You are out of this world" cards with Milky Way candy--I just let my kids decorate black paper with glitter glue. On the reverse I taped the saying and the candy. Even the one-year-old could do this!
Pencil with the saying You're all "write."
And our favorite sweet and simple valentine--just open-ended drawing on a heart-shaped piece of paper. My four-year-old did this one last year. I taught him how to cut out a heart and then he drew his own picture. For my younger kids who couldn't cut out hearts, I just gave them paper to draw on and then I cut out their scribbles in the shape of hearts after they were done drawing.
