Valentine’s Day doesn’t have to be all about marketing and merchandising – disregard the VDay Gift Guide we posted earlier

More than likely it is the sentimental meaning behind Valentine’s Day: the one about showing love and affection to those who matter most to us that we would like to pass along to our children. KSW understands that philosophy, in fact, we love that philosophy. We love it so much that we’ve compiled some great resources to help you share a simple, heartfelt, meaningful handmade holiday at home with your child. (Boy that was a mouthful)

Ideas gathered from various sites around the web

Cute Printable Cards by CiCi Art Factory from Tangled and True {another fave}

Owl Be Your Friend Valentine’s Printables by Living Locurto

Cute Owl Printable Bookmarks also by Living Locurto

Pillow Box Alligator from Skip to My Lou

A print and color Valentine card from Family Fun

Have your kids decorate these Family Fun Coloring Pages , then use them as placemats. {Laminate them if you want to keep them}

Thanks for sharing this!

blessings,
Jacqueline

Ray @ creative valentine ideas December 5, 2009 at 9:28 pm: Like the valentine mail bags. As a child I remember the boxes our Mothers made to put our collected valentine’s cards in and this seems like a great idea.

Being a bird lover I especially like the hearts with popcorn for the birds and will do this this next Valentine’s Day.

Thanks for the great ideas
