If you’re anything like us, you are waiting until the last minute to make your child’s school Valentines. I gave Zoë the choice of whether she wanted to buy Valentines for her exchange at school or make them.

She chose to make them, so we had to find something age appropriate for her to work on. We decided upon DIY Heart Envelope Valentines because she loves cutting, writing and drawing. Because we needed to make Valentines for her entire school (she goes to a very small school), I did help her with some of the cutting and folding to save time.

If you’re waiting until the last minute, but still want to make handmade Valentines this year, give this one a try. You can usually get colored construction paper and stickers at the Dollar Store, making this an affordable craft!

However, if you want cards you can just print without the effort, get my free Printable Owl Valentine’s Cards.
