Tuesday Tot Craft Time: Valentine's Cards

It is easy enough to have a Valentine's card making kit for kids.  Mine is made from die cut hearts from recycled cardboard and colored card stock, toilet paper tubes that have been painted, cut, and folded to look like hearts, and chenille stems.  Then I provide the blank cards, envelopes, some other papers that they can cut and glue, glue sticks, scissors, and markers.  

Here are some cards that some sweet girls made for me from this kit.

Here is the card that my youngest son made for my husband for Valentine's Day.

Also using supplies from the kit, this girl made this origami heart for her mom.

Have a Happy Valentine's Day everyone!

Halloween Swap Package to Gekko

Here is the package that I sent to Gekko in Australia for Halloween.  I also included a Kool Aid juice pouch notebook, which isn't pictured here.  The small goodies are a stamp, a pencil, 2 spider rings, a parachuting black cat, and some Peanuts Gang activity pages.

Gekko was one of my Halloween ornament swap partners.  For her main ornament I made her this black cat.  It is a super easy pattern to make.  I made a different main ornament for each person according to what they said that they liked.  All of them liked witches.  Gekko liked black cats.

I also made her a cork witch as well. 

And this wreath ornament.  It was crochet around a plastic bottle ring.  You can find directions for this in any of my other blog posts about Halloween swap packages that I made.

Here are the 4 magnets that I sent out to my partners.  They are just pre-painted wooden pieces that I glued a magnet to.

I put a few of the small items inside of some of these toilet paper tube "pillow favors." 

Here are the 4 cards that I mailed to my 4 partners.  I just put some fun Halloween stickers on the folded card stock.

I hope that Gekko liked them, and I hope that she got them by now.
