I just got my Feb. edition of Family Fun in the mail this week. They have some really cute ideas for Valentines! Go check them out FamilyFun.com. My favorite is the robot valentine, perfect for a little boy to make. It is so nice that they now have videos clips for alot of their crafts!
Thrifty idea, challenge your kids: give them a budget for their supplies and let them do the shopping.
If you have several kids that want to make Valentines, suggest that they could pool their money and supplies to make fancier Valentines. Not only will your kids be proud that they made their Valentines themselves, they will also be learning how to stay within a budget, accomplish their goal and work with others. When I was at Target this weekend I spotted some pretty Valentines scrapbooking paper in the Dollar section. That could be used for the heart lollipops on Family Fun. In the Sunday paper there are usually coupons to both Michaels and Jo Anns. Both carry awesome kits and supplies for making Valentines.
