Valentine's Day is coming soon, and it's my girls favourite day of the year! They love helping me decorate our home with hearts and pink, and we also enjoy coming up with Valentines for their classmates together. We thought up these love bug valentines for this year, and my daughters were totally smitten with these little guys! These DIY Valentines would make sweet gifts for classmates and friends and they're a great non-candy Valentine idea!
If you stick the love bugs to the foam hearts with double sided tape or a very small dab of Mod Podge, recipients can pop the love bug off and keep it as a pet. 🙂
