The Christmas decorations are on clearance at all the stores and the Valentine’s Day cards and chocolates are hitting the shelves in their place. Do you remember making homemade Valentine’s cards when you were a kid? In a few weeks it will be time to break out the crayons, construction paper, scissors, etc. and make some Valentine’s crafts with the kids. My daughter loves monkeys and bananas, so we’re in love with this monkey Valentine’s treat.

Most kids love puppets, and they’ll probably love this craft by Katie Did of Valentine’s finger puppets! They’re both original and adorable!

The best cards for any occasion aren’t found in a store, but made by hand.

I love this fish made with pink hearts! I’m sure my daughter would want to add some glitter for a little sparkle.

I also LOVE the Valentine’s bookmarks they made with thumbprints! Everyone needs a bookmark and these would make great gifts for friends and family!
