I just found a terrific design/kids/all-around-awesome blog Small For Big, which has several options for Valentine's Day cards you can make yourself:
- DIY Toddler Valenine's Cards with ways to take any doodle and make it worthy of mailing to the grandparents
- Monster Valentines you can dowload for free. All you have to do is cut, fold and send.
- And if monsters aren't your thing, there is also the too adorable Poppy Paper Doll, with enough amazing outfits to make Fashion Week proud.
- Kaboose shows how to make a Valentine Handprint Wall Hanging which is so cute it melts my cold anti-valentine heart. The hearts are made from painting the sides of the child's hands, and then having them press down on the paper with their little fists.

- Crafts-for-all-seasons has a whole tab of Valentine's Day Crafts, including some very sweet Handprint Valentines. This craft creates the heart with the thumb and second finger of both hands, resulting in a very nice-and-a-little-bit-offbeat-too design.
- The Crafty Crow, which is always filled with incredible creations, has a round-up of 10 Valentine Crafts! My favorite is the Heart-in-hand pillow from A Little Great. You clearly need to be a little great yourself to make this, but the directions are so good, it makes even a not-so-crafty mom like myself think I could pull it off. And it really would be so, so nice to enjoy all-year-round.

oh, heck yes, we should be thinking about Valentines! =)
for a long time, as a single mom, i wanted to have someone to celebrate Valentines with....now, i just abuse that holiday and start thinking about the next one as soon as feb 15 rolls around. i need help.
I just think of Valentine's Day as a way to Spread the Love to Everyone. Kinda like Christmas, only in shades of Red and Pink, maybe Orange and Purple too.
