I cant come up with anything this year.

Looking for something the kids ( 2-4 year olds) can make to give their parents. Any ideas?

I'm doing this. Probably literally, since mine are just months old. http://weefolkart.com/content/tissue...-glass-hearts/

here is one

have the make a card. on one side, have the kids paint both hands and then press them on the paper forming a heart, under it will read

...,,,A heart full of love

the other side will read this poem



I wanted to give you a valentine gift
something to give you a smile and a lift
what should i give you?
I thought and I thought
something homemade?
Or something store bought?
A bouquet full of flowers would really be sweet
A box full of candy would be a nice treat
I looked everywhere below and above
your valentines gift is....................

then you will read the other side that shows .....A heart full of love with their handprint heart above it....

This one is my favorite! Some of the answers they came up with just melt your heart. "My Daddy is as sweet as applesauce" or "I love my Mommy as much as my blankie"

I bought a bunch of wooden frames ($1 each) at Michael's that has a heart cut out in the middle. I'll paint them white, then have the kids decorate them with foam cut-outs. I'll take a pic of the kids and put it in the frame.

Thanks ladies! I have the stained glass heart on the plan already. I LOVE the interview one, I'll try it for my older ones, but I dont think the 2 year olds would answer well. I'll try it and see.
