Angry Bird Valentine

If you've got a child who doesn't want any hearts or "lovey" Valentine's to give out AND they love Angry birds - these are for you!

Disguise a sucker into a plump angry bird!

Supplies:
Card stock - red, yellow, black, white, orange
Print out the pattern template for the pieces
Print out tags with saying (the tags says - I get "angry" at the lovey dovey Valentines. They are for the "birds!")
scissors / exacto knife
glue stick/hot glue gun
Sharpie
Tootsie Roll suckers

Step 1: Using the template cut out the pieces necessary for your bird. It's easiest to cut out the smaller pieces but breaking out those elementary school skills by folding a paper in half and cutting a heart or a circle, etc and using the template as a guide for the right size.

Step 2: Place and glue the white belly on each bird. For the red bird place the beak and eyes. For the yellow bird place the eyes right on top of the belly.

Step 3: Add the eyebrows. For the red bird - cut the top off a heart at an angle. For the yellow, add the red straight eyebrows and the beak. Cut an orange heart down the center and place according to the picture.

Step 4: Add the head and tail feathers on both birds. Make a few dots with a sharpie marker for the eyes.

Step 5: Punch a hole or cut an "X" or a cross for the sucker stick to thread through.

Wrap the card stock around the back of the sucker and add a dot of hot glue to secure it together.

Add a tag and some hot glue as well to secure it to the sucker stick.

And you are done! I'll be linking up and sharing HERE!

UP movie Valentine

supplies:

Boxed Candy hearts

White Card stock

UP house printable

Hot glue gun

2 helium filled balloons

Paper with printed saying

scissors

Step 1: Print the UP house printable on white card stock. Cut out along the roof line straight down the sides to the other house and along the roof line of the other.

Step 2: Take photos of your child or you pretending to hold a rope like you were floating away. Print and cut out around the body. 

Step 3: Take a candy box and the cut out UP house piece. Wrap the box with the house. 

Take your hot air balloons and place them behind the chimney. You can split up the balloons on each side or group them all together. Glue the strings into place using the glue gun and then attach the house to the candy box with the hot glue. Cut away the excess string from the balloons. 

Step 4: Print out a saying on regular paper and cut a cloud shape around it. 

Sayings could include: 

Valentine, you make me soar "UP" above the clouds!

or

for a teacher - Thanks for taking my education "UP" to another level!

or 

Thanks for being someone I can look "UP" to!

attach the cloud to the string of the balloon with a bit of hot glue

attach the cut out photo as well below the cloud
