Can’t believe Valentine’s Day is Friday! February is flying by! Here are a few things I had fun with his weekend. \u00a0The little blackboard Valentine is super quick once you gather your supplies! \u00a0Almost 30 years ago our oldest son’s kindergarten teacher made these little gems for each of her students, and I still have his. I decided to try using the pinecone frame idea from my “Family Vacation in the Tetons” post to change it up a bit, too.<\/p>\n
The bookmarks are something I made for my students last year for Valentine’s Day! \u00a0These are a sweet keepsake and oh so quick! How nice to open a book with one of these bookmarks holding your place.<\/p>\n
<\/a><\/p>\n Blackboard Valentines<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/strong>Supplies:<\/em> Lay popsicle sticks out to form a frame. \u00a0Mine are placed about 3\/4″ up each stick (see photo). Glue with hot glue.<\/p>\n Next cut black paper to fit the back side of frame and glue in place with hot glue. \u00a0You will only put glue on the two sticks (see photo).<\/p>\n Using a white colored pencil write the sweet little math problem: Now you can glue ribbon on from the back. I cut a 5″ piece of ribbon for mine. Then I used a red marker and wrote a little phrase at the top of the frame, and if you like you can sign it at the bottom.<\/p>\n
