If there is one thing that keeps my kids busy, it is animal figures. I keep a small bag of them in my purse at all times and when we get stuck somewhere, I pull them out and the kids are thrilled. My kids love the little animals so much, I thought they would make the perfect little valentine!
For This Valentine You Will Need:
- The printable (Link at the bottom of this post)
- small animal figures
- Baker’s Twine
- a hole punch
Print and cut out the printable Valentine. Have your child address them. Punch a hole on either side of the the valentine. Slide baker’s twine through both holes and tie the small animal to the front of the card.
I was able to find a small bag of animals at the dollar store, which made this valentine super affordable to make. I think the kids are going to love getting a little animal instead of just another sucker.
Do your kids love little animals as much as mine?

Those are adorable! I need to make a trip to the dollar store this weekend, so I think I will try and find some little animals for the kids' valentines for their party next week!
Kacie says
These are adorable valentine's cards! And I think giving out little toys is a much better idea than candy. Sometimes the holiday's that emphasize giving out candy can get a little over whelming!
Beth@FrugalFroggie says
What a fun idea. I should put a bag of cars in my purse. That would keep my kids entertained.
