If your child is in child care, preschool, or kindergarten, you’ll need to come up with cute Valentine’s Day cards for the children in his or her classroom. There are many ways you can design cards for your child to give out, and the entire experience can be fun for both you and your child. Here are a few ideas for children’s Valentine’s Day cards to pass out at his or her child care:
- Dress up store-bought cards with stickers, colors, or glitter. Take Valentine’s cards featuring your child’s favorite character and enhance the cards with hearts or stars in bright colors to add a personalized touch. You can also try stamps to add an extra element to the card.
- If your child is in kindergarten, help him or her practice writing by hand-lettering the cards. This is a great idea for either homemade cards or store-bought cards. Use bright colors or add some flair with a glitter pen.
- Add special messages to your child’s Valentine’s Day cards. Tell a joke, find a rhyme, or get a funny or sweet quote for your child to copy and add to the card. This will make your child’s Valentine’s cards stand out from the crowd.
- Encourage creativity. Grab some red, pink, lavender, and white construction paper, glue, safety scissors, and markers and let your child create cards however he or she wants. You can assist with cutting or spelling, but your child can let his or her imagination run wild. This is a great way for your child to create one-of-a-kind, precious Valentine’s cards.
- Consider alternative Valentine’s Day cards. Make cake pops, brownie bites, or other sweet treats, help your child decorate them, and pass them out to friends and classmates. Other options include flower seeds, cookie cutters, or a tree seedling to plant.
Valentine’s Day is such a sweet holiday for kids in child care or kindergarten. They can pass out little cards to let their friends know how much they are liked and appreciated. Don’t forget to include teachers in this February ritual!
