10 Valentine Ideas Kids Will Love

diy valentines

Last year my son drew each student a picture for Valentine’s Day. It was sweet, but hard work.  The year before that we bought the easy cards from the store (my favorite was a Captain America valentine that just said “SOCK EVIL IN THE JAW!”. This year I think it might be fun to do something a little different (and a little more Valentines day-ish… no offense Captain America).

Here are 10 easy, DIY Valentines your kids will love.
