{Toddler Valentine Cards}

A few week’s ago, I shared the thank you cards that Jackson made for his Christmas gifts.

Toddler Thank You Note

They were such a hit with his grandparents, that I wanted him to make something similar for Valentine’s Day as well.  So I came up with another punched card/coloring project for him.

To make Toddler Valentine Cards, you’ll need:

blank white cards and envelopes

crayons

a hole punch

washi tape

heart stickers

fine tip Sharpie

materials

I began the project by letting Jackson color inside the cards.

He takes his art work very seriously!

While he colored, I began to apply washi tape to the leftover heart punches from his thank you cards.  Yes, I saved them.  I knew Valentine’s Day was coming up and figured I could probably use them for something!

I let the tape hang off the edges…

…and then used scissors to trim around the heart shape, so they looked nice and neat.

To assemble the cards, I punched holes at the bottom, used double-sided tape to attach the heart to the front, and wrote out

I love you a “hole punch”!

Inside each card, I also signed Jackson’s name and wrote the year so his grandparents could remember when this masterpiece was created!

I think the beauty of making these cards is that no one card is exactly the same.

I hope you and your loved ones have a

Happy Valentine’s Day!
