Valentines

Posted on February 13, 2011September 10, 2012 by Jacky Hackett
My daughter decided she wanted to make all her valentines this year.  She is over the store bought ones, dread this sounded like a major effort to me.  I stumbled across some origami heart valentines that were right up her alley.  She loves origami and can make some wicked complicated stuff.  I am always baffled by the directions when she asks me for help.  I have to completely focus and read through it a zillion times before I get what they are saying.  She has learned to just figured it out herself.  My brain just doesn’t work that way.

I had her give it a try and it proved to be an easy project for her.  She made about 25 of hearts in about an hour.  And here I thought it was going to take a few nights, hey I was impressed.  Once I finally found a store that sold Dum-Dum lollipops (the Blow Pops I got were WAY to big) it didn’t take us long to stuck them in and attach the little note.  I think she did a great job on what I am sure is her last year of handing out Valentines.

The four year-old chose a valentine with a pirate theme. 

We all had fun working on valentines this year.  Hope everyone has a Happy Valentines Day!

      Those turned out really good! I miss those school holidays. Pretty sure I don't have to send any Valentine's with Hannah to college tomorrow! 😀

      Your daughter's origami hearts came out great! Thanks for sharing the link to my site. I appreciate it 🙂

      Those pirates are darling. Kind of wishing I made those for my daughters valentines. I guess there's always next year.
