Sweet Sentiments

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!

Does your kiddo love lions? Try “I’m not LION — you’re cute!” 

“You GUAC my world” would be perfect paired with an avocado. 

What about a car? “You’re WHEELY awesome!” 

I could do this all day! But on to the craft.

 

Here’s what you will need:

›› a variety of colorful pom poms in various sizes

›› colorful cardstock

›› scissors

›› glue

›› markers

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!

Happy crafting, friends!
