Holiday // A-“maze”-ing Non-candy Class Valentine + Free printable

February 11, 2014

I was debating on making some new Valentine’s this year, since things have been so crazy.  But, I decided to make some easy ones.  I’ve seen a few Maze Valentine’s around the web, but I wanted to design one for my 1st grader that fit him better.
I always love to have my kids give out non-candy classroom Valentine’s day cards for their class mates since many kids now have food allergies, and an allergy free Valentine is always a good option plus, they get so much candy these days!
I found these little maze games at my local party store called Zurchers.  I liked them because they reminded me of little Lego men, and my little guy just saw the Lego Movie and loved it.  Plus, if I can do a non-candy Valentine, then I usually do.  They usually get plenty of candy as it is.
I decided to print it out on kraft paper card stock for more of a custom look!
I found a pack of the heart mazes too at the party store, and my son decided he would give them to the ladies in his class, LOL! (Future heartbreaker!)  I thought it gave it a nice touch, and could work well for either boys or girls!

Enjoy, and Hope you have a great Valentine’s week!

Can you believe we are almost into February?  
I for one am happy to see January go.  It’s always the longest, most dreary month here in Utah.
Anyhow, I wanted to share with you a little round-up of all the fun Valentine’s Day related posts I have done over the years here on the Armelle Blog.  I love Valentine’s day!  What’s not to love about a day that celebrates love!

I just love Minted holiday cards.  They designs and quality are top notch.  I was so excited to be able to work with Minted on our Christmas cards this year!
When I opened the box I immediately reached for a card to feel the thickness and quality.  It really is amazing!
I picked the Holiday floral card designed by Maek paper.  
What I love about Minted is that they collect independent designs from all over the world, and offer them to you printed on high quality paper.
I really loved the beautiful colors on our floral card!
Here’s the front of our card.
I also love that you can choose to add some pictures on the back of the card.  Very fun!
