What Are Some Creative DIY Valentine Ideas?!
While we prefer to give our Valentines in the form of a large, handmade painting, we know you might have other ideas in mind for special treats this year.
We’ve found some easy-to-make (and inexpensive) DIY Valentine ideas for you and the kiddos to try. They’re all ideas that the kids can make (some with a little help from you), and there are plenty of additional ideas for you to get creative with, as well.
Let the kids use their creative minds and eager hands to make some special Valentines for the whole class, while you get in touch with your inner-artist to make some for your special someone, along with other loved ones in your life.
*** And remember if you DO want to make a painting for your Valentine, OR bring them in to enjoy one of our classes, we can help with that, as well!
