Valentines Day is Tuesday!
If you’re needing a last minute valentine idea for your child’s classroom exchange, I wanted to share an inexpensive craft. Using just snack bags, craft supplies I had at home, and party favors, I was able to come up with a sugar-free, allergy-free valentine idea!
I got these finger skateboards at Target in a pack of 12 for $3. They are in the party aisle as a favor.
I then used the free version of Canva – a digital creation website – to put together an image. I downloaded the image, which features a skateboard and says “you’re a WHEEELIE awesome valentine!” I added a “to” and “from” line in a word doc with the image and printed.
Then I stuffed each baggie with one skateboard each, stapled a piece of folded construction paper over the top of the baggie, and glued on my print out.
These are super basic – but my little man loves them and can’t wait to give them out at preschool this week!
I’m sure there are lots of other possibilities using the party favor aisle… little trophies with the catch phrase “your number 1, valentine” or glow sticks with a catchy phrase about light. What ideas do you have? What DIY valentines have you made? Comment below to share your ideas!
