Little Kid Star Wars Valentine Card

Yoda Best Valentine Card Star Wars free printable
This year both my boys are in love… and I mean in LOVE with all things Star Wars. 5 and 2 years old and no, they aren’t familiar with the movies, it’s all thanks to Legos and it so happens playing Star Wars is the hot thing to do on the playground these days. So of course they wanted Star Wars Valentine Cards, but especially for my 2 year old I wanted to keep it very kid friendly.

Thanks to a really talented blogger at Design.Wash.Rinse.Repeat. I found the perfect card. Yoda Best! She offers the card as a freebie download, they are easy to print out and assemble.

I’m just hoping the kids can hand them out without cracking the glow sticks!

Homemade Valentine’s Day Cards

Color My Heart Valentine's Day Card
Pinterest is such a great resource to find fun ideas for DIY Valentine’s Day cards. I found this “You color my heart” idea there and enlisted my son to help. Now that he is 4 years old, he was able to really lend a hand.

He wrote his name and drew a beautiful heart. Then I scanned them in and created a simple card using Photoshop. Printed copies and cut them into squares. Using a glue stick, he pasted the squares onto a variety of colorful scrapbooking paper. With his kid scissors he carefully cut them out creating cute little cards for all his preschool friends. I added the finishing touches by attaching these really nifty Crayola Mini Twistables Crayons to all the cards with ribbon.

Last year we did “You’re a Hoot” cards, but I did most the work since he wasn’t writing much at age 3. He did help me glue on the eyeballs and coordinate the pencils. To make these, cut out tear drop shapes in various colored paper. Then fold over and glue down the pointy tip to create the owl nose. Using scissors, trim the top of the folded edge to make more of a heart shaped top. The rest is pretty self explanatory… just find colorful pencils to use for the branch (available at Target).

You're a Hoot Valentine's Day Cards

I love making cards with him and I think homemade cards are the most exciting kind to get when you are a kid. He is so excited to go to school next week and hand these out to all his friends!

Ants on a Log & Celery Rose Stamps

Celery Rose Stamping

New Year’s resolution #2: provide more arts and crafts time for my boys.

Just in time for Valentine’s Day. Use the base of the celery stalk as a stamp to make beautiful roses. Turns out the size of the celery root is perfect for little hands to grip and the pattern really does resemble a rose.
