This weekend is the weekend to celebrate Valentine's Day with your kids.

Whether you having a party at home, making cards for the grandparents or friends, of course we want to do it on the cheap.

Here are some ideas.

The first is a picture I've treasured everyday since my daughter made it last year at school.

The 'I LOVE EWE' sign is easy to make.

Here's what you'll need:

Card stock or thick paper

Black ink pad or black paint (You could also trace an outline of your child's hand with a black marker and let them color it in)

Reinforcement circles (if they have another name let me know) {you could also use cotton balls}

Tiny ribbon and either a sequin or button (blue or use a blue marker)

Directions:

Cover the child's hand in the ink or paint

Place the child's hand finger tips towards the bottom of the page.

Make an imprint

Letit dry -- it won't take long.

Then use the stickers to fill up the palm of the hand . This will be the sheep's fur.

Color the green grass and blue sky

With a black marker write "I LOVE EWE" at the bottom.
