DIY: Toy Animal Valentines

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!
