Don't just run out to the store and purchase those generic SpongeBob/Star Wars/Frozen Valentines cards for your kids to hand out at school this year! I've got 3 sweet printable Valentine's cards for school that will make your kids the stars of their classrooms!
I think I might have set the bar too high around here. No sooner was I taking down the Super Bowl-themed decorations, than my kids were already asking me what I planned to create for Valentine's Day.
So before I headed off for this week's grocery shopping, I surveyed the crowd and asked what kind of sweet treats they might like to give out to their friends this year. And there was no unanimous decision. In fact, my daughter asked for Dove chocolate hearts (and she was quite specific about this). And my younger two asked for Nerds.
Sigh… Nerds.
You see, Santa was kind enough to place giant boxes of Nerds candy in each of the kids' Christmas stockings this year. But I suppose that Santa didn't realize that virtually no child on the planet can shake out a small palmful serving of these tiny candies without spilling a small quantity onto the floor. At which point they bounce, roll, and generally make their way under every surface and into every nook and cranny in the house.
I have been cleaning up these little Nerds in far greater quantity and for far longer than I have been vacuuming up pine needles left behind by the Christmas tree.
And apparently- this shall continue. Because of Valentine's Day.
Oh well.
But we cannot simply gift a small box of candy to our friends at school without coming up with a cute way to do so. Perhaps an expression of friendship, a small yet clever poem would be fitting?
“It might sound absurd,
But I'd be a nerd
if I didn't wish you a
Happy Valentine's Day!”
“Our friendship goes straight to my heart!”
Silly, but sweet right?

How do I make the nerds printable larger? When I print them out they are half the size they should be.
Sharon Rowley says
You should be able to do that in your print settings before you print it.
