Looking to make some out of the ordinary valentines this year? These toy animal valentines are not only cheap, they're extremely simple!
What you'll need:
- toy animals (I found these in the dollar section at Target)
- paint (red or pink)
- a saw
- paper (to make your valentine)
- glue or tape
Use a saw to make a small cut in the animal's mouth. I know, I know... it looks a little brutal.
Add a few hearts using paint or a paint pen. Glittery hearts would be even better!
Make a few valentines with corny sayings, such as...
cow - I hope you're in the mooood to be my valentine.
lion - I'm wild about you.
monkey - I go bananas for you.
giraffe - Giraffe to believe me when I say I love you.
bear - Be my valentine... I couldn't bear it if you said no!
I think you get the idea. If your valentine doesn't fit snugly in the animal's mouth, use a dab of glue or some tape. That's it! Now give it to your valentine for them to display proudly!
