This year, forgo the store bought Valentine’s cards and encourage your kids to make their own! These that my kids made were very easy. We found all the supplies we needed around the house. But first things first — every good Valentine’s card needs a good pun! Avery and I Googled some funny puns and tweaked them for our Valentine’s cards. You can really make anything into a Valentine!
HERE’S WHAT YOU WILL NEED:
Does your kiddo love lions? Try “I’m not LION — you’re cute!”
What about a car? “You’re WHEELY awesome!”
Use the paper to create your favorite things — animals, food, activities — the sky’s the limit! Incorporate pom poms for the perfect 3D touch. Finally, finish by writing your best pun to create the perfect Valentine!
I could do this all day! But on to the craft.
Happy crafting, friends!
“You GUAC my world” would be perfect paired with an avocado.
