\"vday-wordsearch1\"<\/a><\/p>\n

For some reason, K’s school hasn’t allowed Valentine’s exchanges in past years. This has been hugely disappointing for me because I LOVE making Valentine’s. As with any holiday involving cards and sweets, I get completely jazzed while K looks on with a jaded expression, resigning herself to yet another craft project gone bonkers.<\/p>\n

\"vday-wordsearch2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This year, still inexplicably, her school is allowing its first ever Valentine’s exchange. I am beyond excited. I created this word search card, thinking it would be perfect<\/em> for second graders. K nixed it, unfortunately, saying that it’s too easy. Perhaps you’d like it for your less opinionated kiddos? There are four per page with fourteen words to be hunted down. Initially I wanted to include vintage-looking pencils (something similar to those tiny pencils you get at IKEA, but cuter) but I couldn’t find any locally. These small markers were $2 per 10-pack, making them easy on the wallet. That’s gold washi tape, but I should use something with a little more pizzaz\/pattern.<\/p>\n

Here’s what they look like on the sheet, and there’s a convenient download button below.<\/p>\n

\"vday-wordsearch3\"<\/a>\"vday-wordsearch-button\"<\/a><\/p>\n

So I’m back to square one. K loves the bookmarks<\/a>, but wants them to be less lovey-dovey. We’ll probably just end up stamping a bunch. I don’t have time for it this year, but next time I may just revisit the scratch-off idea<\/a>. That was fun! We also did some potato stamping a long time ago, and that was fantastic too:<\/p>\n

How about you? Are you getting V-day cards ready?<\/p>\n
