Make your own Valentine cards! Babyccino Kids: Daily tips, Children's products, Craft ideas, Recipes & More

February 12, 2008

They won’t be as sharp as the cards you buy in the shop, but I’m sure they are made with way more love!

Take a thick piece of paper, about 15×21 cm or 6″x8″ (if you’re going to send it, it’s handy to check if it fits an envelope beforehand, but they are also cute for decoration)!

Cut a heart by cutting a drop-shape out of a piece of brightly coloured paper folded in half. Glue heart on paper. Let your child decorate with glitter glue. Let dry, and stamp cute text!

You’ve just inspired me!! I’m going to make some today with the boys!
The only problem is that they will never get to the U.S. in time… I can’t believe it’s Valentine’s Day already!

Ten Questions with Courtney

In our week of interviews to celebrate our 10th Birthday, it's Courtney's turn to answer our ten questions... 1. Describe your ten-year-old self.

How we do Halloween, when we don’t do Halloween.

As a child, growing up in a part of South London which was, at the time (early 90’s) rather under-represented, Halloween was a given. Halloween seemed to be everywhere, and everyone celebrated it. Or at least that’s how it felt when I was 7 years old. I had a couple of very makeshift outfits, remember ...

Thanksgiving Traditions: How our family celebrates today.

In my family, Thanksgiving is a complicated holiday. For many Americans it is a time to spend with family, but also a time to reminisce about "Pilgrims and Indians" and the story of the "first Thanksgiving feast". However, for other families, like mine, it is a reminder of the genocide and atrocities that soon followed ...

Make and gift a festive simmer pot

Have you ever thought about how powerful the olfactory memory is? Many times, different smells take me back to a particular moment in time -- often a childhood memory. Spices have always been around our house. African food needs quite a bit of it! The smell of delicately balanced ginger and cloves will always remind ...

Sandcastle Cake -- a show-stopping centrepiece

We had a very little birthday party celebration for our two year old, since we had just arrived the night before to our little holiday getaway by the beach. So to keep it very simple, I used some seashells as decorations, and then the seashell necklaces made years before for as accessories for her siblings! ...
