Mason loves baseball so I started a search for a cool valentine that would be good for the big THIRD grader. I found these baseball "tickets" on CoralBalloon's Etsy page. As soon as Mason saw them, he had to have them. If baseball isn't your son or daughters thing, there is also basketball, football, and soccer to choose from. Just email the shop owner, Emily, upon checkout with your child's name. She will then custom make them for you and email you the PDF with printing instructions. For only $5 you get a total unique valentine for your child and you can print off as many copies as you wish! To go along with Mason's valentine, I scored another great toy from Amazon. These little bat and ball keychains are adorable and surprisingly well made. The bat is wooden and the ball has real stitches through it! They are on sale for $6.71 and sold in a pack of $12. For about $ .50 its really a great deal! Prime shipping eligible too so you can certainly get them in time for that Valentine exchange!
We sent them to the local print shop today because my printer is on the fritz and I am out of ink. We picked them up and finished putting them together. It was an easy, pretty last minute Valentine, and both kids are thrilled with how they turned out. I have to admit that I think that they are pretty darn cute as well.
I hope that you enjoyed and that it inspired you to do something fun with your littles!
