Today, Drake brought home a letter from preschool saying that on Thursday, they are having a Valentines Party and that if we wish, we can give Valentines to the kids. I had planned on doing Valentines anyway, it was what happened
after we finished making them that I think makes me
one of those moms (You know, the ones that take projects, especially kids projects, just a
little too far for the sake of cuteness?).
But first, here are the Valentines that Drake and I made for his class:
 |
| I cut out a bunch of 2 inch hearts on the cricut and glued them on half of a blank note card (I cut them in half). I then used elmers glue to glue the eyes on then it was Drake's turn. He drew on the smile, arms, and legs. I used a few stamps and red ink and stamped Happy Valentines Day in the top right corner. I had some conversation heart stamps that I used in the top left corner and in the bottom left corner, there is a hugs & kisses stamp. I used a regular hole punch and punched 2 holes about 1 1/2 inches apart and inserted a sucker in the holes. This is a blank Valentine. The ones for his class have their names at the top. Drake was so proud of himself for helping me. |

And this is why I am one of those moms:
 |
| I do not have any small sacks for Drake to take these to his class in, so I made 2 nags for him. This one for his church class and is small enough that he can use it for his scriptures. It is about 8x10 inches, not including the handle. |
 |
| This one is larger at about 12x13 inches, not including the handle. It is for his preschool class, since there are more kids in there than in his church class. |
I'm one of those moms too...I've been thinking all week about cute ideas for Valentines for the kids and haven't bothered to ask what they want to do...cause I know they want to go get Star Wars or Princess cards from WalMart. :-)
ReplyDeleteI will go to walmart after monday and pick up some cards for next year. I am not sure that I want to make 30+ cards. Family Fun has several cute ideas for cards. There are also tons around blogland. Good Luck!
