What age can help with this Valentine’s activity?
Any age can actually make this craft but the younger children will need some adult supervision.

Pull up a chair and work on it together to create a fun bonding memory.
You can make this cute 3D valentine card for your kids or have them make it themselves if they’re old enough to handle some simple craft materials like paper, scissors, and glue. Crafting time together is always a good idea!

This card can be a super fun gift for teachers, grandparents, parents, or even just other family members and friends. More than likely, there won’t be many cards like this one out there so it’s certain to stand out!
Can you vary up the card in any way to make it unique?
You can! If you’re looking for a few ways that you can make this card a bit different, why not have fun with it? The theme is about a balloon so it’s time to have a fun play on words. You could say a number of different things on the card as well and here are a few ideas to help get you started:
- You lift my spirits every day!
- I’m flying high over my love for you!
See how simple it can be? Make one the regular way as shown below and then try another one where you put your own spin on it. That way, you can easily create the same type of card but be certain that each one offers something different to the person that is receiving it.
Vary up the color scheme, the fun saying, or just get a different picture to attach to the next card and have fun with the layout and outcome. The red color is really cute for this homemade card activity but it would be just as cute with a blue or even a pink one as well!
