Want a simple yet sentimental craft for your kids to make for their daddy's?  How about this one?  Not only is the poem too cute for words, but this makes for a great keepsake as it has their hand & foot prints! 

Does your sweetheart love Swedish fish or appreciate handmade sentiments?  If so, consider this edible option >>>
How about surprising the kiddos or your sweetheart with a fun-loving healthy snack sentiment in their packed lunch?  We had a lot of fun with these - they are guaranteed to please! >>>

"A Long Distance Hug" (to send to loved one's far away)


"A Family of Flowers" (lollipops)
^ Have someone special, but far away, that could use a Valentine's hug?  My daughter & I made this one to send to her Papa.  It's the actual size of her hands and arm length!
 
OR
 
How about a flower alternative?  Not only did this craft cost way less to make than a bouquet of  ^
flowers, but it's also a fun alternative for the youngsters who don't quite appreciate those traditional floral gifts yet.
 
 
We hope you've found something here you can DIY to make your families Valentine's Day extra special this year.  If you decide to try your hand at any of these ideas, we'd love for you to share with us about it by commenting below.  Have a very happy Valentine's Day from our family to yours!
