I gather everything that would work from our art supplies. The right colored paper, stickers, punches, the right colored crayons and markers. I cut out a bunch of different sizes of hearts. Then I just lay it all out and see what the boys make.
For their classmates, we choose a Pinterest-y valentine. Again, simple but fun. We use a non-food item because we appreciate those as an allergy family. Each boy chooses a different one.
We also read the story of St. Valentine (about 100x over) because I like the boys to know it’s actually a feast day. He’s a great saint to remember.
Elias made me a sweater out of the scraps as he was working. I wasn’t sure what his vision was and as a result wasn’t sure how to accept the gift. I asked him to show me how to wear it, which was extremely helpful!
