As Valentine's Day approached, I asked my kids if they wanted to make or buy valentines for their classmates/friends. They said they wanted to make them.I pinned my heart out on Pinterest and found several I thought would be fun. But of course we didn't actually sit down to make them until.... the night before!
The original idea used little plastic animals, but I couldn't find any at the Dollar Store, so we went with iced animal cookies instead.
What kid doesn't like Band-aids? We bought some super hero band-aids for the boys and rainbow colored ones for the girls.
The kids picked what kind they wanted to give to each one of their classmates/friends. Rylee and Taylee even joined us and gave some to their friends too.
I wanted to do something special for Jason, so I came up with the idea to make his Valentine's gift last ALL DAY long. On the hour, he got to open a bag. In the bag were treats and a quality/thing I love about him.
Our kids are quite independent when it comes to getting ready for school and making their own lunches, but I wanted to do something special for them for Valentine's Day. So I made each one of them a lunch, including a treat and note from me wishing them a Happy Valentine's Day.
I didn't think this one through, unit AFTER I had sent them to school. I wondered if I would be receiving a phone call from the principal letting me know that our valentines were inappropriate because of the NO tolerance (of weapons) policy at school. --Oops. No phone calls. Whew.

PS- Abree and Treyson reported that the Band-aid valentines were possibly confusing to their classmates.
Treyson reported that one of the kids said, "Seriously...a Band-aid???"
Abree reported that a girl in her class, wrote in her daily journal, that the worst valentine she got was a Band-aid.
Abree said, "Don't you get it? It says 'I'm STUCK on you Valentine'."
"Ohhhh, I see."
Then the girl quickly took it out of the package and put in on...even though she wasn't hurt.
See? She really did love it... she just didn't know it.
