Free Printable Washi Tape Valentines

I know people can have... feelings about Valentine's Day. It can be cheesy and depressing and lots of other not great things, but I have found that I kind of love Valentine's Day with kids. We like to make heart shaped pizzas and make punny valentines for their friends, and really it's all just fun and low pressure. The kids love picking out little toys or trinkets to hand out to their classmates, and we work together to come up with little cards to go with what they picked out. Often, those cards end up as free printables here on on the blog. This year I had an idea for a crafty little Valentine's Day gift - washi tape! I think they turned out pretty cute, and if you want to make some, you know I've got  you covered with that free printable. ;) I thought these little valentines ... [Read More]
