The holiday filled with paper hearts, delicious candy, and love notes is right around the corner.  Everyone loves Valentine’s Day, right?  Well, kids do at least.

It is Big W’s last year in elementary school, so this is his grand finale for classroom Valentine exchanges.  If he gives a Valentine next year, that will be a different story entirely!  {Oh, the joys of middle school.  Do you remember?} Kid’s Valentine’s Day Cards are hard to find once you have grown beyond Batman and Disney Princesses.  Last year, we were lucky to find Pear Tree Greetings!  Their classroom valentine cards are simple, easy to personalize, and fun to exchange.

It took Big W and Little Man a total of 1 second to choose this year’s Valentine card.  Fake mustaches.  BOOM!  These darling mustaches have a pre-punched hole for a lollipop or sucker.  The kids unwrap the pop and it looks like they have a stache while they are eating it.  Personalize it with your child’s name and you are done!  There are no envelopes to address, so the kids just have to add the lollipop and pass one to each classmate.  Wouldn’t a class photo with fake mustaches be amazing?!?

Kids everywhere will soon be slipping small little envelopes into decorated boxes.  Valentine’s Day.  I love it!  When Big W was in PreK he decided to get two sets of Valentine cards {one for the girls and one for the boys} and has done the same ever since.  His theory:  girls don’t like the same thing boys do.  Wise beyond his years that one.  In the past it was princesses and superheros.  What else would it be?  Now that they are older, and quite mature, it isn’t so cut and dry.  He has out grown of most of the character Valentine cards, so this year we tried something a little different.  We found Valentine’s Day Cards for kids, at Pear Tree Greetings, that we could personalize for the card exchange with his classmates.  {Little Man jumped on board too!}

The boys each chose two different styles.  One set for the girls.  One set for the boys.  I also ordered a darling photo strip Valentine to slip into the cards we send to our family.  They were thrilled when they arrived at the doorstep.  Next step?  Figuring out what little item, treasure, or piece of candy to hand out with them.  Oh, the pressure!

The envelopes are too small to send by US Mail, but you could easily slip the smaller envelope into a larger one and send these awesome greetings to anyone!
