Here are a few more. This first one is just one I came up with off the top of my head, but I'm sure has been done in a million different ways. First, I had my kids make a list of ten people that they love. Next, they wrote the names of each person on a heart. Then, they glued the hearts to a paper plate. Once dry, they added some glitter (VERY MESSY!). These are so beautiful and sparkly, and the photos do not do them justice, but here is how they turned out:
The next craft is a variation on this:
http://www.dltk-holidays.com/valentines/mlacing.htm Shhhhhh! It's for daddy on Valentine's Day - they each had to write why they love their daddy in the center of the heart, punch holes all the way around and then lace the string through.
You can't read the yellow in this photo, but the end of that reads "playing video games."
And of course, my rainbow girl with her rainbow markers - this took her forever to finish - but it's pretty and colorful!
We are such a mushy, gushy, lovey, huggy family. Valentine's Day is one of our favorites. The kids get candy, a new book (an accidental tradition that started when Bridgette was three, and kinda stuck), and a card on Valentine's Day. What does your family do?
Hug your babies today!

Our kids always get something small on Valentine's Day. I love a day that's all about purposeful love. :) One of my favorite Valentine memories...When Lukas and Hannah were toddlers, we kept Hannah overnight and made them heart shaped pancakes w/strawberries on top, and Lukas gave Hannah a rose. Heehee! I love the wreaths. Simple and pretty. I may even switch out one of the crafts I found and do it instead. :)
