Next week is Valentine’s day. Do you go all out with pink hearts, sprinkles, chocolates and bouquets of roses? We don’t, but we do add a touch of fun and whimsy to the day – be it the Valentine cards we made for classmates (above), a fun breakfast, the chocolate spoons we made last year, or even filling the bathtub with heart balloons.
The cards we made this year were super easy. I used business card paper from Staples and created two designs that will fit in the margins. Then I ran both sides through the printer, tore them apart along the perforated edges and the kids signed their cards and attached a heart chocolate with a glue dot. Not perfect, but simple, fast and not at all messy!
I’ve seen so many great things on the web these past weeks, that I thought I’d share a list of favourites. What are your favourite Valentine’s day traditions?
