Kid Style: Two A-MAZE-ING Valentines!

Lots of love to you and yours on this Valentine's Day!

L needed Valentine cards to pass out during his preschool party so I got started by searching for fun ideas. I've already resigned myself to the inevitable reality that my child will realize very soon that he should be able to choose what he gives out to his friends. Luckily, he didn't have a strong opinion on the matter this year and was thrilled with the cards we created for his little classmates.

Theses cute cards were both quick and inexpensive to make. I created the card template in Photoshop and purchased the mazes in the party supply area at Target. They are made by the brand Spritz and I think they were $3 for $18 of them. If your Target doesn't carry them, there are tons of other cheap plastic favor maze options on Amazon, and I assume at your local Party City store. I printed the cards on cardstock and stuck the mazes to the cards using sticky dots.

I have uploaded the template I created for you to use for your little ones. It is available to download for free. I removed L's name so anyone can use it, but please link back if you decide to post it elsewhere online.

 

Once we finished with the cards for the little ones, I shifted my focus to the teachers. Being a former teacher myself, I can totally appreciate the effort that goes into running a classroom each day. Teachers are definitely deserving of a little love on Valentine's Day! What better way to show someone you care than by sending them a Starbuck's gift card?! Around here, it has been cold and gloomy and a warm cup of coffee or a hot cup of tea is like happiness in your frozen fingers. Thanks to the peeps over at skiptomylou.org I was able to simply download their fun teacher card designed by Paper and Pigtails and stick my gift cards to the front using my handy dandy glue dots. To make it even easier, my local Starbucks had adorable Valentine's Day themed gift cards, so I didn't feel like I needed to add anything extra (like the baker's twine wrap that is suggested on the skiptomylou post.)
