Share Your Valentine's Day Ideas Here

I thought it would be neat to share ideas for the kids for Valentine's Day

I saw this on another site and thought it was so cute--I may try this with Kate for her class Valentines.

Take a picture of your child with his/her arm extended and hand in a fist, as if holding something out to present it to the viewer. After the photos are printed, cut two small slits around the hand area to insert a lollipop (or similar). So it looks like your child is holding out a lollipop for the card recipient. I would post a photo, but the examples I have seen were personal pics, so I do not want to copy them.  

Share your Valentine's Day Ideas ...

At Marshalls the other day, I saw some Martha Stewart heart favor tins. They were for wedding favors, but could totally work for Valentine's Day. I almost bought a bag (24 for $5.99), but then I put them back. They were really pretty (seemed nice quality) and pretty inexpensive. They had some other Martha Stewart weddingy stuff that could totally work for Valentine's Day or just springy stationery stuff (with flowers).

I was just thinking of doing cake pops. I love the picture idea though.

I saw another variation of that picture idea. except they added "googly eye's" to the picture SO CUTE!

I found some heart suspenders on Amazon the other day and am waiting for them to show up. My poor son is going to be so embarrassed one day by the pictures I take.

Gosh, I am so not crafty so I don't really have any ideas, but I absolutely love your picture idea.  That sounds like it would be so cute and easy to do.

I seen that on one of the blogs last year! So cute! I'm looking at a few things, but haven't made a decision yet. There are soooo many cute things on the blogs!

I did Valentine cookies last year and wrote the name of the kids in Cadence's class on each one.

Since my due date is February 24th I am not entirely sure how much time I will have to do crafts this year, but I did want something C could be involved in making for her friends.

I got a foam froggy Valentine kit at Target for her and it's really cute! There are glitter heart foam stickers to put on the frogs' bellies and you make a foam stand for them to stand on. She keeps asking everyday if she can make her froggies. It was $5 for 20.

OOh, cute ideas! I tried the lollipops with the photos today. I think it will work better if the pics are printed or mounted on heavier paper. I ended up taking Kate's pic and then printing them at Coscto with one of their Valentine borders. I am still kind of tweaking them. They're for her preschool class. I took some pics of Kate and Isaac for our other Valentines (also printed at Costco--I am loving their photo cards lately).
