The Joy of Writing Out Valentines

If you have Valentine's cards to do for your young kids (i.e. a classroom distribution) and you want the child to participate, start now. To do a class-ful of cards with your child's name on each under "From" takes a while. My almost 4-yr. old son definitely couldn't do 15 Valentines all in one sitting -- space it out with a few each day, and you'll have the batch ready by the 14th. We also did the homemade ones over time, allowing glue and glitter to dry overnight then working on a different one. Plus, if you are mailing any Valentine's Day cards, you will want to do it either today or Monday.

Just a tip from one who has experienced the 'joy' firsthand in recent days!!
