If you’ve got a budding artist, put him (or her) to work. Invite him to create an original piece for his valentine class exchange. Don’t you remember what it was like getting a valentine from your special friends?
Once the artwork is complete, “reproduce” it! A color copy machine is perfect… you’re half way done!
Mount the artwork onto a beautiful valentine themed sheet of paper. (We found a red, velvet type of construction paper at a craft store.) Then roll it up into a scroll, tie some pretty ribbon around it andvoilà… you are DONE! Your child can hand out his/her unique, one of a kind Valentine to all those special someones.
Here’s an example of what Jackson created for his kindergarten class. Only a six year old could come up with this. It’s an elephant blowing heart kisses out into the world. A tiny green bird sits atop the elephant tweeting out hearts!
What will your little Valentine come up with?
Happy Valentines Day!
LOVE TO ALL!
