Class Valentine's Day Valentine Round-up

Here are our top 5 favorite DIY class valentines to deliver to your child's classmates.  We chose our top 5 based on cuteness, ease in production, and cost.  No matter how cute a Valentine is, it won't be as cute on the fortieth step on your twenty-fifth valentine. 

#1
We love this Valentine because it is low cost and memorable without having mom do all the work!  Have your child, draw their best picture of a heart.  Use that photo to make one of a kind Valentines for our child's classmates.  Check out the blog "A Mom with a Lesson Plan" for this adorable tutorial.

#2
Another totally cute idea that is customizable to your child's class!  What kindergarten or 1st grader wouldn't love to search for their OWN name in a puzzle.  Check out Soft Schools word search builder or Discovery Education word search builder to make a free word search featuring your student's classmates. 

#3
We love this Valentine idea for three reasons.   First off it is just adorable, extremely resourceful using up the broken crayons that are in the bottom of art bin, and as well as being candy free. Pinterest has several versions of these upcycled heart crayons but we like this packaging the best. Check out this design on East Coast Mommy's blog.  We found some heart molds at Joann's fabrics or Wal-Mart online.

We love this one because its a Valentine that is fun weeks after Valentine's Day.  Find inexpensive bouncy balls to the dollar tree, party store or Wal-mart using the free printable from The Crafting Chicks.

#5
We love this one because it is perfect for both boys and girls, contains no food allergies and extremely inexpensive!  A 12-pack of pencils and 25-count cellophane bags can be found at your local dollar tree.  We couldn't find this printable exactly but here are some free printables from Darling Doodles.

Happy Valentine's Day!
