Valentine's Day is a time to let someone special (or your BEAST friend) know you care. And it's the perfect time for kids to have fun making cards. Here's three.
PEEK-A-BOO Card
To make this card, first cut a heart out of folded paper so it's hinged.
Next, the child giving the card should glue their photo inside. Then mark the spot where the eyes will be when the heart card is closed.
On the side that will be the outside of the card when it's closed, poke holes with a hole punch or a sharp pencil.
Finally have the child add a "Guess Who Loves You?" message on the face of the card. And a "It's me, love note" inside.
I LOVE YOU THIS MUCH Card
Making this card offers kids a chance to share measuring how far they can stretch.
Have the child lay on the paper and draw around their hands.
Have them print H-U-G in between. Print a Happy Valentine's Wish on the back. Then fold up or roll up to send or deliver. This is sure to be a Valentine Card grandparents would love to receive and keep-forever!
Send A Little Bit of Blooming Love
Though I'm sure this isn't an original idea, it's one I've always loved for Valentine's Day. Make a card--any kind will do--and inside tuck a little packet of seeds to plant. It could be seeds for flowers or herbs that can be easily grown in a flowerpot. Then the love shared can grow FOR REAL!
