It was Valentine's Day and off to Target or Tar-jay as we say (well, who are we kidding - like all parents of small children we are there once a week) to buy our Valentine's Day cards.
When we got home though, I thought, what does it all mean anyway? We buy something for 16 children in 2 classes once a year for Valentine's - seems so designed to force consumerism.
Knowing the super hero fever going around our preschool, at least amongst the boys 3-5, we decided to make something at home for FREE! I had leftover felt from Sam's Birthday party and the dum dums cost all of $1 or so. So, like all smart moms, I went to Pinterest to find the shortcut. Here is how you do it :)
My
only tip is to use some slightly heavier card stock if you have it.
Ours were printed on typing paper which was free and readily available.
Girls
loved it too - we made Super Woman for the girls and the teachers. I
think the teachers got a kick out of that because they ARE Super Women!
And, this was a fun project to do with kids. They helped cut, glue, and were so excited to share with their friends.
