I love making creative and fun Valentine's for my boys to give out to their friends at school. Each year they pick out the item (I like to go non-candy items if we can) they want to give out and we find a talented blogger who has made a free printable for us to use to go with it.
This year son #1 choose little Valentine rubber ducks and son #2 chose Valentine gliders. Both items came from Oriental Trading. Both ideas for the printables came from The Crafting Chicks. The airplane/glider printable is HERE. And the duck printable is HERE.
I had some difficulty getting their printable files to download - and I was in a hurry to get them done - so I created some simple paper strips with the words on them myself. Cut them in to long strips - tie or staple them on, and boom, Valentines are done.
For boxes to take to school, son #1 chose to re-use his Football box from last year. It was a classic and I was very happy not to have to make another new one for him this year.
Son #2 saw a Hot Air Balloon box as I was perusing the internet - so we grabbed a $3 basket from Target and a mylar balloon - tied them together, and there you go. He loved it. This idea came from Tatertots and Jello - HERE.
