DIY Classroom Valentines

Hi it’s Jean sharing a DIY Classroom Valentine project using printables and the “Little Bear” stamp set.

I have fond memories of helping my sons making Valentines to hand out to their classes. At the same time, I remember being stressed when it came to getting them ready! The last thing that any mother needs is a stressful craft project. I’m showing several options so that this project can be customized to what works for you and your child(ren). I've put together printables (.pdf format) that include sentiments for four stamp scenes from the Little Bear set (there are eight cards per printable, two of each of the four designs).

The first has the “to” and “from” fields included, and the other does not.

The easiest approach to create the Valentines is to print the file of your choice onto white cardstock, stamp the scenes and have your child color in the images with crayons or colored pencils.

Or print the file onto colored cardstock and stamp the scenes.

If you've got a little more time, or simply like the look, another approach is to stamp the scene onto colored cardstock, fussy cut and attach to the base.
