Handprint valentines: works for even the youngest baby! Stamp their chubby little hand on a heart and you've got a personalized valentine the grandparents will display year-round.
Fingerpainting hearts: we did this last year. Kardelen simply painted on two sheets of paper, then I traced and cut out hearts from them. They turned out so cute!
Stampin' hearts: this year we broke out the stamps, washable ink pad, stickers, and markers and let the girls have a heyday with hearts I had pre-cut. Kardelen also "wrote" the names of the recipients on the valentines, which is a great step in the writing process. (Listen to me--I sound like a homeschool mom already, don't I?)
Make extra to hang from the ceiling and replace your winter snowflakes! (Aren't you getting tired of winter already?!)
Do you have any fun ideas to share for making valentines?

(Why am I looking at a mom site? I don't know! Sometimes, I get sucked deep into the internet and end up in unexpected places!)
Anyway, I thought it looked like a fun activity you could do with your girls!
Look at me, bossing you around. Sheesh!
Cute! Great Idea!

Laura,
I loved that idea! I found some other fun ideas after browsing that site, too. Thanks for the link.
And go ahead and boss me around as much as you want--I'll still keep you. :)
