Jenna’s class has a Valentine’s Day party next week, and since candy is not allowed, I wanted to include a gift item that all of the kids would like. Jenna loves art, so watercolor sets were a perfect fit. I found a batch of inexpensive watercolors at the craft store and then set to work. My first step was figuring out what the Valentine’s would say. This was much harder than I expected, and my husband and I brainstormed for quite awhile to come up with ideas. I also found a great resource for all sorts of Valentine’s puns, and two of my final messages came from this list. I especially love these because Jenna helped paint them!
What a nice alternative Valentine for kids. My daughter would love this.
My daughter loved making these, though she was a little upset when she saw me cutting her paintings! Once she saw the final thing, I was forgiven
What a really great, non-candy idea!!
Thanks, Kate!
I love this! And now I am sad I already got the magnifying glasses for my daughter. Definitely pinning this for next year. Thanks for sharing!
I had a similar thing happen with the Valentine’s I’m making for my son. I bought some paper mustaches to make mustache photo props, and then I saw lightsaber Valentine’s using glow sticks. Oh well, there’s always next year!
Brilliant! Watercolors are sp pretty and most parents forget to thik of them. Instant love, pinned!
Thank you, Jessica!
Wonderful idea!
Thanks, Pippa!
