Valentine’s Day Valentines {Plane Awesome}

February 9, 2012 By Michelle Barneck 22 Comments

This is my first year making Valentine’s Day Valentines for my son to take to school. Of course we didn’t want anything too girly and they get way too much candy, so I took him to the dollar store to have a look. Luckily, we found six packs of airplanes for a dollar so we settled on a “plane” awesome theme!
Valentine’s Day Valentines: You’re just PLANE awesome!
We pretty much love them and they were so easy!
Plane awesome supplies:
  • Toy airplanes
  • Mini Glue dots
  • Color printer
  • White cardstock
  • Paper cutter
  • Glue (I used what came with the glitter)
  • Martha Stewart heart shaped glitter
We printed four of the following image to a page on white cardstock. That is what worked best with our size planes.

Cut out your cards and glue dot the wheels of the planes to the cards.

Draw three contrails (aka the white trails planes leave) from the back of the plane using your glue. Mix multiple colors of glitter hearts in a bowl. Pour the glitter on the glue and shake the excess glitter hearts back in to the bowl. Let the glue dry.

Voila! You have created a cool kid’s Valentine’s Day valentine that is just plane awesome and may I mention allergy safe! My sons class has gluten, nut and red dye allergies this year. Find a valentine treat that avoids all that, I dare you! Or do the easy road like me and just do a toy instead.

My son is happy to have a cool valentine and I’m happy it was extremely affordable and easy!
