For this Valentine you will need:
- the printable found at the end of this post
- Valentine Yo-Yos (we used ones provided by Oriental Trading)
- scissors
- bakers twine
- a single hole punch
Print out the printable at the end of the post on cardstock to give it stability. Cut out each of the valentines, there are six to a page. Have your child address them to each child in their class. After the cards are all addressed, you are ready to attach the yo-yos.
Punch a hole in the corner of each of the cards. Cut a small amount of bakers twine, slide the twine through the loop on the yo-yo and the hole in the card. Tie it into a bow.
The kids are going to have a blast playing with their little yo-yos!

That's really cute! I love it when you can print out your Valentine's Day cards and not have to run to the store and buy them. That's the way to do Valentine's for me from now on.
