If you're tired of having your child hand out those generic big box store Valentine's cards or relying on candy hearts, here are a few ways to make the holiday more creative and more earth friendly.
- Hand out KaBloomz, plantable paper hearts. They might be a few dollars more, but these handmade Etsy creations can be planted and will grow into wildflowers. A lasting reminder of love all year!
- Create new cards from old ones. Maybe too late for Thursday, but in the future, save your greeting cards, note cards, Valentines, etc. in a file. Your child can go through and cut out pictures to create new cards.
- Make unique and functional hand-outs with 'You rule!' Valentines made from, you guessed it, rulers. Get the how-to here.
