I try to make Valentines for my kids to give out that have a Bible verse or other scriptural theme.

This year I've come up with these Bible Verse Valentines that feature Proverbs 17:17

What you'll need:

• Printable download (get it at the bottom of this post)
• Scissors
• Valentine pencils (I found mine at Dollar Tree)
• X-acto knife (this one is inexpensive and works great)
• Self-healing cutting mat (optional if you have something you can use to protect your surfaces)

1. Cut out the Valentine cards (they'll print 4 to a page.)
2. Place self-healing mat or other protective object on your table.
3. Use your X-acto knife to cut slits where the black lines are on the heart.
4. Insert the pencil into the slits.
5. That's it!  You're ready to spread some Valentine's day love!

Every Valentines Day I try to come up with something my kids can give to their friends that doesn't include candy.  

I'm not crazy about my kids having tons of candy, so I figure it would be a little hypocritical to hand it out to everyone else.

This year's idea hit me super early one morning when I should have been sleeping, so I hopped out of bed and put these together.  

I specifically wanted some tags that would fit on a standard Ziploc bag since I always have those on hand.  

(If you don't know the song it's sung to the tune of "Stand up, Stand up for Jesus".)

​

​

I found a huge bag of bouncy balls on Amazon for about 10 bucks.  There were plenty to give each child several balls.  (Note: make sure that parents are aware that you have given these to their child as they could be a choking hazard.)  Here is the bag of balls that I bought:

This year, we were given the opportunity to pick out some things at Family Christian to make a small gift basket for them.

We found a plaque in the clearance section that will go nicely in Grandma's newly painted kitchen!  We also found some lovely notecards with the words to “Great is they Faithfulness” on them.

For Grandpa, we found Valentine's Day chocolates with Bible verses on them and a coffee cup to go with it.

But of course the part that Grandparents love the best is the pictures of their grandkids!

Everything we do around here has to be super-simple, but we strive for cuteness all at the same time!

So I snapped one “regular” picture of the kids and glued it onto construction paper.  I wrote We Love You…

That was the front of the card.

For the inside of the card, I snapped a picture of the kids holding their arms open wide, glued it to the inside, and wrote “This Much!”

I am sure Grandma and Grandpa are going to love their gift from the kids!
