Fun, Free Valentine Ideas for Kids

I'm sure by  now you're aware that I've got a couple of kids.


Yeah, that's them. Respectful little boogers, aren't they?

Anyhoosies. These painfully adorable kids of mine need to take Valentines to their classmates next month, as I'm sure yours do (if, you know, you have them. Kids I mean.)

 I like to do a little something more than plop down a couple dollars for perforated character cards at the grocery store... you see, I need to satisfy my secret Valentine's Day craft lust. When I was in school I'd spend hours perusing my mother's Current catalog for supplies and ideas and then go to town with glitter glue, heart-shaped doilies, and red paper.

Why does that have to end just because I no longer have classmates of my own? I can live vicariously through my children, woohoo!


 
Recently I've seen a lot of great Valentine art and printables floating around, but I wanted to take a day to specifically highlight a few of the fun Valentines ideas for kids I've stumbled across...
 
 
I "Wheelie" Like You and Cute As A Button earring valentines from 30 Days

Have you found any other fabulous valentines I should catalog for future V-Day reference? Share, please!
