School Valentines

Each year at Valentine's there is the big decision: To buy the Power Rangers and Barbie cards, or to make something a little more creative and personal. I bet you can't guess which camp I am in! In fact, today's big project is assembling the Valentines, but I'm not going to show them to you...yet.

Here are a few last minute ideas for you:

These are the Valentine's my daughter and I made last year.

I wrote about them here. They were a bit more work than I wanted with a 1st grader, but if you like this idea, you might want to do this, instead:

Cindy @ Skip to My Lou, made a free download. That should make it easier, and children can still get involved with cutting and assembling.

This year I really wanted to channel Becky Higgins, or these cool Valentines from Yellow Pear Photography, so I did, sort of, but I, of course, managed to make them a bit more complicated. Come back tomorrow for the big reveal! I'd love to see what you did for school valentines this year!

    You can check out my blog to see what we did this year. I look forward to seeing the ones you made. Last years were cute--I may have to remember that for next year!

    Love the heart/flower lollipop valentines you did last year! I saw something similar on Martha and wanted to do them for the Valentine's party I hosted...but didn't get to it! Maybe for my little one's lollipop party coming up! Nice to meet you! Thanks for visiting my blog, as well!
