Funny Valentines

posted Saturday February 12th, 2011

Mustaches are everywhere these days (the new owl!) so why not on Annabelle’s valentines? We had a lot of fun making these. Here are the directions.

It was a good day. Sophie wrote all of her valentines (Olivia the Pig, of course) in one sitting.without complaint. A small miracle. Now, to be honest, you couldn’t read any of them (particuarly her own name, which she wrote “in cursive,” which meant a quick scribble — which is fair, considering what my signature looks like) so I made tags with names and put her valentines and some candy in a bag then tied them up with the tags on the outside. That took a while.

But  it’s all done, leaving time tomorrow for the science fair projects. It’s become a friendly competition of sorts — Annabelle and Ray  vs. Sophie and me. Sophie and I are ahead of the game; our carousel is built, photos are developed, the backboard’s even underway. They only just purchased the materials to build a zoetrope this afternoon. But we’ve got some worthy opponents.

I’ll report back.

  1. those are so awesome! but the link to directions isn’t working?

  2. I love the lollipop mustaches, super cute picture. I will have to make them sometime.

    We were going to do a science project but a week + of sick kid and a week of vacation do not a science project make. Oh well, maybe next year.
