    Every year Cupid comes and visits my girls on Valentine’s Day. He brings a lot of treats and then I try and pack red and pink items in their lunch boxes.

    I used to pack heart shaped sandwiches in my kids’ lunches on Valentine’s Day. They always thought it was so neat.

    We have hung hearts from the ceiling and it was a great project. I’d definitely do it again this year.

  23. Very sweet little decorations that any kid would enjoy.

  24. Rosey says

    Aw, I like the lipstick tip. And you’re right, you can pick a cheap-o tube up at the dollar store. Best to tell the kids though, that the expensive lipstick is off limits. 😉

  25. I remember the days of counting out tons of hearts from construction paper. Pink. Purple. Red. Sometimes blue or green. Then I would gather lace and glue it around the edges. I thought I was such a designer then!

    In our house Valentines day is all about the kids. So this is very much needed. Super cute!

  27. Ann Bacciaglia says

  28. Aisha Kristine Chong says

    This is truly something really fun to do for kids!

  29. Marielle Altenor says

    I love the idea of writing on their mirror with lipstick. Only knowing my kid he would look at me like I have 10 heads and probably roll his eyes for being cheesy!

  30. Life As A Convert says

    These are all simple and also frugal. We are big fans of the paper hearts around here.

  31. Megan @ C'mon Get Crafty says
