The theme for the kids was Dinosaurs..."You're Dino-mite!" I found some plastic dinosaurs at Target that I picked up and then use the Create-a-Critter Cricut cartridge to put together these cute Valentines. For Colin's class, I tied a bow around the toy dinosaurs and attached them to the Valentine.
Colin was quite amused with them...
By the time I got done with his 7 for his classmates, I still had 18 to do for Brandon's class and I decided not to tie the dinosaur on because it was taking forever. I ended up just putting them in plastic baggies with the Valentine, dinosaur and a chocolate candy. They actually turned out really cute, and man, I forgot to take a pic of the final product, but here's the rest of the cards...
For Colin's teacher, I made her a scrapbook, with the help of the other mom's. We each asked our kids why they love their teacher and they came up with their own answers. It's always cute to hear what a 3 or 4 year old will say! I made the book with my bind-it-all and then used Valentine's paper that I got at the Dollar Spot at Target and each mom gave me a picture of their kid to use for the book.
I also made a few mini Valentine's albums, which were featured at a MOPS fundraiser as a Make-and-Take. I got to teach a bunch of girls how to make them and they got to take them home with them. Here's the one I used as a sample...
And my neighbor asked me to make a few for her for her kid's teachers and I thought they turned out super cute!!
That was a perfect idea for the kids and the teachers! Way to go Robin!
