Child-Created Valentines


Happy (almost) Valentine's Day!!!

I am sending Valentine's with Bug to Daycare this week and thought it would be fun to create something different than the typical store bought Valentines. And, I wanted something HE could make. So here it goes, Bug's first time Finger Painting...

Add drops of Non-Toxic Paint to a piece of white cardstock. Any colors will work. We decided to go with a Jungle-Theme...














Let your child have fun smearing the finger paints while NOT eating the paint. This is where another adult comes in handy. Let paper dry. (And if you're like us, bathe baby)











To assemble the card, use a heart stencil to trace a heart on the back of your painted sheet. Cut out heart and glue to another colored piece of cardstock. Add a Valentines-themed message. We went with "I'm Wild About You" to go with our Jungle-themed Paint. Attach a snack (we are using animal crackers) and send to the lucky receipents.
