If your kids are in any form of school, they are usually expected to participate in a Valentines exchange. What on earth did we do before Pinterest? Oh wait, I know…go to Walmart, let the kids pick out some tacky card with Peppa Pig on it, spend $3.99 for the entire box and be done with it. Everyone was happy. But now, Pinterest has screwed us all and my kids always bring home the most creative shit and are like Moooommmm, why didn’t we make our Valentines Day cards like these?? And I’m like well honey, maybe next year when I don’t realize Valentines Day is 2 days away.

Here’s a fun idea for a small class, teachers, bus drivers, whoever really. So cute and actually really easy. And an excuse to run to Target if you’re short on time.

Supplies Needed:

EOS Lip Balm (Here or Here or you can catch 6 packs for sale on Amazon)                                                                                                      Twine (Here in Fuchsia Bubblegum Twist)                                                                                     Hole Punch                                                                                                                                              Free Cards I found Online (I used these but there are a ton of options)                                    Scissors

You just cut out the cards, have the kids sign the back, punch a hole in the top and tie the tag with twine on to the pre-existing hole on the lip balm. Done.

Here’s another fun idea the kids are loving. These little duckies are pretty cheap and you can buy ’em in bulk and this little project looks great and requires minimal effort.

Supplies Needed:

Rubber Duckies (Here and Here or how cute are these)                                                               Twine (Here)                                                                                                                                          Scissors                                                                                                                                                      Hole Punch                                                                                                                                            Free Cards I found on Online (I used these but again, so many options)

So easy. Just print out the cards, have your kids sign them, punch a hole in them, and tie them around the neck of the duck with the twine. Dunzo.

Hope I’ve inspired you to make your own Valentines this year. Your kids will think they’re cool and you’ll feel like a Bad A$$ B!TC$ for sending them to school with these. And all those over achieving, one upper Moms Can.Suck.It. Hope you all have a great weekend filled with family, fun and drinks. Lots and lots of drinks.
