Taken straight from Sally's post below- Sophie , John, and I made Valentines this weekend! These were stupidly easy and fun, great for last minute mass production if your kiddo needs four dozen for school parties. Simply draw hearts on any old paper with oil pastels (we recycled big pieces of old drawing paper). Red pastels seemed to be most vivid. Next year Sophie will be able to make her own hearts, but she helped me scribble nonetheless.
Paint all over the page with tempera cakes or watercolors. As a final fun touch, Sophie added a wash of silver glitter paint (the Prang variety is perfect). Cut roughly around the hearts, add messages on the back, and voila! Valentines that are beautiful and personal!!
ps- have you seen Sally's new pup, Maisie? So very cute.

Thank you for sharing this. My lil one needs to bring in 21 Valentines and I really didn't want to buy the "junky" store-bought ones. He wasn't especially thrilled with my idea of having him make them this year...but he loves to paint, so this idea works. Easy peasy! Thank you!
