I thought that was cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-going-to-give-valentines-to-hisher-friends#post-505611 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 14:13:10 +0000 T-Mom 505611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pelikila: Wow those are adorable! If I did that for DD's pre-school I would look like I was trying too hard, it is very low-key. That's cool that you are doing those.</p> <p>We'll probably go for store bought ones this year and maybe include a pencil. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-going-to-give-valentines-to-hisher-friends#post-505604 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 14:08:59 +0000 Mrs.B 505604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I got little plastic shovels and tied an applesauce(the applesauce is in a squirtable pouch thing) to it with a tag that says "I dig you". </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-going-to-give-valentines-to-hisher-friends#post-505603 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 14:08:26 +0000 heffalump 505603@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MediaNaranja: You just put some paint on the paper and then put it in the bag, zip it up, and let the baby or toddler move the paint around. I've been doing it with my LO since she was little. You can also make it craftier by having them paint things like wooden picture frames, or use masking tape to block out a word, letter, heart, etc. and then remove it when the paint dries. Makes great gifts :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-going-to-give-valentines-to-hisher-friends#post-505586 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 14:00:28 +0000 MediaNaranja 505586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@artbee: That sounds cute! How do you paint in a ziplock bag? Curious, as I babysit classmates' kids on occasion and would love a no-mess (or minimal mess) activity!</p> <p>@pelikila: Those are both absolutely adorable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-going-to-give-valentines-to-hisher-friends#post-505575 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 13:58:03 +0000 prettylizy 505575@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pelikila: cuteness overload!!! Our little girl is too young to get it, but I think she'll make a card for her daddy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-going-to-give-valentines-to-hisher-friends#post-505562 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 13:54:10 +0000 heffalump 505562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO isn't in daycare or school, but we already did start making valentines to give to family and some friends. </p> <p>I had her paint in a ziplock bag (no mess and more importantly no putting it in her mouth) using red and pink paint and then I punched out hearts and used red ribbon to tie them onto white cardstock and then I'm just going to write Happy Valentines Day on there. I already have all the materials so it's a free project for me, and they came out really cute. I'll probably throw some stickers in the ones that are going to kids. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-going-to-give-valentines-to-hisher-friends#post-505500 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 13:25:22 +0000 Mrs. Bee 505500@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pelikila: i totally wanted to do that school one because it was easy for the kids to understand, and charlie loves swedish fish! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-going-to-give-valentines-to-hisher-friends#post-505452 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 13:07:31 +0000 Honeybee 505452@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DD gave them out to her daycare friends last year; I think we'll hand-make a few for her friends this year! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-going-to-give-valentines-to-hisher-friends#post-505437 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:59:07 +0000 MrsBrewer 505437@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@pelikila: Both of those are SOO cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-going-to-give-valentines-to-hisher-friends#post-505436 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:59:05 +0000 littlek 505436@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, I plan on LO giving out valentines day cards to his class. He's in the infant room, so its really more for the parents than the LOs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-going-to-give-valentines-to-hisher-friends#post-505433 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:58:02 +0000 mrs. wagon 505433@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We didn't do anything like this until this year, when Wagon Jr. started getting little gifts like that from his classmates! Now I feel so guilty not doing anything (one little girl gave every single kid in the class a tiny little stuffed animal in a little gift bag for Christmas). So we'll be doing valentines for sure. Time to start looking up ideas...! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-lo-going-to-give-valentines-to-hisher-friends#post-505427 Tue, 15 Jan 2013 12:56:36 +0000 pelikila 505427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep. I buy printables on etsy and give those out. Last year it was fishbowls with swedish fish in treat bags (valentine by PBJand J). This year it is toy cars (valentine by PaperandPip).

But I really want to do it this year so I think I might do something really simple and inexpensive. Kids make celebrating holidays so much more fun!</p> <p>Will your LO give out Valentines? </p>
