I love to put together Valentines with a little something special for the recipient to keep as a token of the holiday. So last year, my girls and I made these sweet little "Luv Bugs".
If you were in a child in the 70s' these googly-eyed pompom critters with big feet might evoke some nostalgia. Back then we called them Weepuls and Warm Fuzzies. They have the same charming effect on kids today as they did back them.
This year, we found our critters at Michael's crafts in a bag of 18 for just $2.99.
The Valentines are simple to put together. You can download the tags for free HERE:
Print on cardstock or photo paper, then cut out. Use large glue dots to affix the Luv Bugs to the tags. That way, you don't use up the adhesive on the feet (they're stickers) and the kids can put them on their shoulders later!
Your child can sign the back of the tag.
And there you have it! Adorable little Luv Bugs!
Pin It Now!

These are so adorable Jenn! Thanks for sharing at this week's Open House.
ReplyDeleteJust wondering...what are they called at Michael's? Luv Bugs? I am totally doing this for the girls in my son's class! I hope they aren't on sale so I can use my coupon! :)
ReplyDeleteSorry, I don't know why I am coming up as Unknown, but my name is Jennifer. Thanks for your answer when you get the chance!
ReplyDeleteHi Jennifer, I found them on a display full of Valentine craft items. They are from the brand "Creatology" and are called "Pom-pom" Critters.
ReplyDeleteHave fun!

These are adorable! Thanks so much for linking up to my Valentine Link Party!
ReplyDeleteThose are just about the cutest thing ever! What a great idea. I wish I could convince my 10-year-old son to make them for his class but he will only tell me they are for girls. Ugh!!
