Do you have a Connect Four fan in your house? Then they are going to flip for this fun Valentine that lets every one of their friends have a little game of their own!
For this Valentine you will need:
- the printable found at the end of this post
- Little Connect Four Games (we used these provided by Oriental Trading)
- scissors
- bakers twine
- a single hole punch
Print and cut out the paper valentine. Have you child address them to each child in their class. Using the single hole punch, punch a hole in the corner of each valentine and a hole in the corner of the Connect Four bag. There should be plenty of space to punch a hole above the seal so none of the little pieces fall out.
Tie a piece of bakers twine through the hole in the card and the hole in the Connect Four game.
Stay tuned for more free Valentine Printables in the coming weeks!

what a creative and very cute idea. It certainly gets kids to interact with another, well that is if they don't eat all the little candies.

I used to be OBSESSED with Connect 4 when I was a little girl. I mean, I made EVERYONE play it with me over-and-over-and-over again! I should make your DIY cards for my family members as a gesture of thanks!

I was in love with this game as a kid and my daughter loved it too. I don't think we called it connect 4 in the 70s but maybe we did. Love the valentines!
