Yes, I know Valentine's Day is done, but I wanted to share the Valentines that our grand kids made for their classmates. It was fun being a part of this activity with them.
Gracie chose the colors blue (for the boys at school), pink (for her three girl cousins) and purple (for the girls at school), yellow (for the names she couldn't remember so they could be for boy or girl) and then ONE Green one for Jeremy because "Green is Jeremy's favorite color". Hmmm - Jeremy huh!!?? guess Gracie has her first crush. Gramma helped with stamping the heart and embossing the heart band, Mommy punched out all the hearts, helped Gracie with stamping "Happy Valentines Day" and putting all the dimensionals on the back of the hearts. Gracie stamped and put all the hearts on the front. After 29 valentines she was tired of it.
Tyler, on the other hand, chose a more complicated Valentine and treat. You can see him punching out all the pieces he needed -
to make these cute owls to attach to a pencil.
He stuck right with it and seemed sad when the process was done. I can't remember whose blog I saw this on - sorry. You actually remove the pencils eraser and feed the bakers twine through one of the little holes (using a dental flosser) and then you can choose to put the original eraser back in or (a better option) to add an eraser to the top over the empty hole.
Hope your Valentine Day was SWEET!
Thanks for Stopping By!!
