Kids really look forward to giving adorable Valentine's Day cards to parents, teachers and grandparents as well as exchanging sweet valentines with their friends. As a special activity for this day of love, have the kids make their own valentines cards. Here are some creative ideas for kids' Valentines Day cards. Valentine's Day Cards for Boys These Valentine's Day cards for kids are perfect for your little man who loves cars and for this project you will need one of his treasured toy cars. Choose a toy truck or car with textured wheels so it will leave a clear impression. The other supplies you will need for the project are: red card stock, black acrylic paint and plastic plate. Protect your crafting area with newspaper and start making your kids' Valentines Day cards. Use an 8 inch by 12 inch sheet of cardstock to make these cards. This sheet can be divided into four equal sections to create four cards. Pour the black paint in the plastic plate and drive the toy car through the paint a few times to coat the wheels well. Make tire tracks with the toy car over the cardstock. Little boys will especially enjoy this part of the craft. Be careful to leave some room for a sweet Valentine's Day message. Let the paint dry and then cut the cardstock into four kids' valentines day cards. For a sweet touch, attach a foil-wrapped chocolate car on the tire tracks with double-sided tape. Add an adorable message on the card with a marker. "You're a wheely good friend" is a good idea for a cute message. Valentine's Day Cards for Girls Little girls will enjoy making valentine's day cards for kids with 3D embellishments. All that's needed for these Valentine's Day cards for kids is simple templates of Valentine's Day motifs. These embellishments will be folded accordion-style inside the cards so choose an appropriate template. A series of joined hearts, joined XOXOs, etc are good options. Print the templates on thick cardstock and make cutouts. Fold the templates lengthwise in three equal portions and unfold. Secure this cutout on the inside of cardstock cards with double-sided tape so it unfolds accordion style when the recipient opens the card. This is a good project for personalizing store-bought Valentine's Day cards for kids. Happy Valentine's Day!
