My mantel is decorated in red and pink, my girls have their matching Valentine’s outfits and I have been brainstorming Valentine ideas like crazy. I love today’s free printable, perfect for anyone who loves to color.
You are my Sunshine has long been one of my favorite songs to sing to my little ones. I have always loved the phrase, “You Make Me Happy When Skies Are Gray,” which was the inspiration for today’s printable Valentine. This sweet Valentine is perfect for attaching to any box of crayons.
All you need is the printable at the end of this post, crayons and double sided tape. I simply cut out the Valentines (there are 6 on each page) and then taped them to the front of a box of crayons. If you want to save some money, you could always put a few crayons into a cellophane bag instead of giving each kid their own box.

I'm fairly certain I've never met a kid who doesn't like to color, so these are a great bet. I can't believe Valentine's Day is coming up so soon! I need to get on it!
