Kid's Valentines

BeebopandBuddy

Give me your ideas.  I'm thinking this because I am so not crafty:

hmp1

I think I am going to do a notepad and pencil. Any ideas on a cute tag? I was thinking use Write instead of Right but haven't thought of a cute saying I like.

Or maybe this tic tac toe game but I think Leo's class is too young for this.

hmp1

I have this pinned too because we play with balloons a lot in the winter.

hmp1

Last one, lol. I have so many ideas pinned!

BeebopandBuddy

Maybe this tag?

BeebopandBuddy

Ooh!  I love the paper airplane!

This is much better than the "You've got the write stuff, baby" that I can't get out of my head! NKOTB for lyfe.

I like this for bubbles

I like that too and there are tons of cute, cheap, valentines bubbles on Oriental Trading Co.

MarisaKathleen

Seriously you guys.  Im so bored at work I have a picmonkey screen up and I'm trying to do my own with @hmp1s NKOTB reference.  

I can get pens in our bookstore for like $.39!

I like this too. If I can make the free printable work, then it's a winner.

hmp1

I wonder how bad the other parents would hate me, lol.

LOL!  "Santa" put one of these in Brody's stocking for Christmas.  We're insansely immature around here.  The boys think it's hilarious.

MIL gave one to James last year or the year before. It is always good for a laugh I might get a few for James' core group of buddies and the neighborhood boys.

That is all that popped into my head too!  NKOTB for lyfe!

I should ask daycare tomorrow if they do Valentines. I don't remember if they did last year. I think they had a party because I remember a sign up for stuff, but Aria wasn't going to be there.

27boo

These are all super cute, so I kind of hope they do.

Cute! Also, love the name Maeve!

tinyhumantoe

I'm the worst mom ever and I have never sent W with anything.  I like the applesauce!

The boys school is Jewish so they don't celebrate Valentine's day! At first I didn't like it, but now I am way too burnt out from the holidays, Keagans birthday and everything else I have going on to even think about it!

I think I'm going to do one of these this year:

I was thinking of doing this for school Valentines and then also using them for the few friends who will come to DS' bday party, since he wants a Frozen theme. Is that totally lame to not have two different ideas? It's different kids.

I really love this idea and considered it myself, but I don't want to take the time to get it all together.  I have so much I need to do for Maya's birthday, I'm just going to go for something easy.  I want to see pics though if you do it, it looks so cute!

Have you seen the Star Wars ones? So cute too.

I got the Oriental Trading Co. catalog yesterday and there were 4 or 5 different cheap, cute options.

MommaP12

DS is obsessed with Star Wars lately - it will be his 6th Bday party theme (SIX???) so I'm totes stealing that Yoda valentine for his class, thank you!!!  Does Target really have glow sticks in their dollar bin?  If not I wonder if a party store or dollar tree would have them...

I did the goldfish thing for DS when he was in daycare and will probably recycle it for DD this year.  It's so easy and cute.

jenndub

@MommaP12 The Target out here ALWAYS has glow sticks in the dollar bin. I buy them almost every time I'm there.

I started this thread and thought "Since Sawyer only goes to preschool on Mondays and Fridays I probably won't even have to deal with this bs." Just checked the calendar, Valentine's Day is a Saturday, celebration will be Friday. Damn. Why did I have so many freaking kids?

willy_gert

@MommaP12 you might also check Michael's or another craft store.  That is where I got Luci's recently.  I need to bust out something awesome to make myself not feel like the worst daycare parent ever.....

Thanks for all of the ideas ladies!  Do you have to buy these templates or is there a way to just print one?

MommaP12

Thanks for the glow stick scoop ladies!

Some of them do and some of them don't.  I purposely chose one that has a free printable.  #lazy

I know Dollar Tree and Dollar General have them too

I will also be stealing the Star Wars idea. Jack watched the original with DH over Thanksgiving Break and it's been nothing but Yoda and Storm Troopers since. Oh, he'll be so excited to hand them out at preschool!

@amandad715 my son is constantly battling with a light saber - he has several and got the Inquisitor Light saber for Christmas.  It's "super fun" ugh.

Add Brody to the star wars fans.  Except he is adamant that it's called a "light saver."  We laugh at it every time.
