NCP Blog: Love is in the Air
February, the month of Valentines and love, is here! Do you do anything special for Valentine’s Day? I loved picking out special cards each year for my friends, and creating mailboxes to collect them in. And, I still like to buy candy hearts at the store!
If you have kids, do their classrooms still have Valentine’s Day parties? Mine do, but they usually just eat pizza and participate in a fun activity with their classmates.
As an adult, I still love to send Valentine cards to friends and family, especially those I haven’t seen in awhile. With so much email and social media in our lives, it’s a nice surprise to get handwritten cards in the mail. Valentine’s Day is an unexpected day to receive mail!
Do-It-Yourself Valentine Crafts
Are you the crafty type? There are so many fun ideas for inexpensive things you can make to show someone you care! From something as simple as a hand-drawn card with a heartfelt message, to heart-shaped baked goods and more, there’s something for every skill level.
When I was searching for ideas, I found this list from HGTV. It includes things like:
– Conversation heart cookies
– DIY cupcake bouquet
– Valentine tea bags
– Heart-shaped window clings
– Fringed heart-shaped pinata
– Etched wineglasses
– Conversation heart bath bombs
– Festive Valentine banners
– Candy necklaces
Heart-Shaped Crayons
Do you have kids? A fun Valentine craft for children is making heart-shaped crayons! I did this a few years ago with my kids, and it was a big hit. You probably already have plenty of broken crayons in your house, so you might as well do something fun with them!
