Valentine Fairies

Over the past few weeks, there has been a lot of talk about making Valentine cards, but not much action. A quick look at the calendar today sent both my girls into a Valentine-making frenzy!

I had a pretty good feeling that Natalie would want fairies to be involved with her Valentines – she is all about the fairies right now! Together, we planned out these simple, but adorable, fairy valentines using things we had around the house.

We used:

• pink construction paper (cut in half)
• tracing paper for the wings
• heart doilies (small) for the skirt
• shiny red hearts or red puffy stickers for the top
• glue stick

I was the designated wing-cutter, but Natalie did everything else herself. All the details were added with a black pen. I love how Natalie gave each fairy a different hairstyle! She ended up coloring in their hair with crayons, too.

“Happy Valentine’s Day” was added with a rubber stamp, and she wrote her to/from on the back of each card. If you have a fairy-lover in your house, you might want to try making a Valentine fairy!

We usually have waffles with strawberries and whipped cream for our Valentine’s Day dinner. Do you have any fun Valentine’s Day meals or traditions?
