Valentine’s Day is coming, and you have options: grab a box of generic store-bought cards featuring whatever superhero is popular this month, or actually make your own valentines that kids will remember past lunch period.
I know what you’re thinking…homemade valentines sound like a Pinterest rabbit hole of glitter, glue guns, and regret.😆 But here’s the reality: most of these ideas take less time than a Target run and actually get your kid noticed (in a good way) at the classroom party.
Store-bought cards are fine. They’re easy. But they’re also forgettable. And if you’re going to spend time on Valentine’s Day anyway, why not make something that doesn’t immediately end up in the recycling bin on February 15th?
