Valentine's Day Cards from Toddler Artwork


I really wanted to make Valentine's cards with Cameron this year, but she's still too little to really understand the concept. Then I had the idea of taking her "artwork" and converting it into fun cards that we could give away to family and friends.

She had a blast coloring "trains" and "hearts" on the paper and I had a blast turning them into cards (as you can most definitely tell from these pictures!).



Here's what you'll need:
Construction Paper or Card Stock in Various Colors
Paper Punches
Scissors
Glue
Black Archival Quality Pen

Have your toddler go crazy coloring, then use any kind of paper punch to cut shapes from the paper. I used a heart punch since we were making Valentine's.  


Then you can take the shapes and turn them into whatever you want!


So fun! This would also work great for birthday cards, thank you notes, or anything else of that nature. And the best part is you get to spend some quality time with your kiddos. Win, win!
