We wanted to make some Valentines cards for our Kindergartners to hand out at school and after finding these little packs of notebooks and pencils at the dollar store we knew we were on the “write” track. The funnest part of this project may have been coming up with silly puns and singing New Kids On The Block. Wait for it…
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The right stuff
Right, back on topic now.
Just look at these Valentines! Super cute! Candy free!
If you want to make your own we have a FREE PRINTABLE with 6 Valentines sayings ready to go. Just print on card stock, cut out the valentines and use an x-acto knife to cut slits where you will insert the pencil and the back of the notebook. We were able to save time by cutting the slits through 5 or 6 valentines at a time. Using the edge of a metal ruler as a guide to cut along and cutting on top of a self healing mat is quite helpful.
The pencils and notebooks stayed in place surprisingly well and certainly would not fall out on their own. We added a little piece of tape on the bottom of the notebook just to keep the cover from flopping around, this step is not necessary but it keeps it neater, plus who can resist cute tape.
The girls approved and took to signing, such a big job but they were proud of their work and could not wait to give them out to their classmates!
Happy Love Day!
