My daughter didn't like any of the packaged Valentine's Day cards for her 6th grade class, so she decided to create her own. I thought some of them were very clever, and some just reflect a 6th grader's point of view.
If you are caught short and your child doesn't like any of the prepackaged valentines, then just take a white piece of paper, fold it and write on it. Tape a candy or a novelty to the outside.
On the inside my daughter put the following on each card:
It's Valentine's Day.
You know the deal.
(her name)
On the outside, she put all different sayings. She had to make up 55 separate sayings for her team, so there is a slew to choose from! I didn't put them all online because some just pertained to her situation, but take your pick of the others:
Let me guess, you just want the candy.
I can't believe that someone could go that crazy over a love letter.
I have a dream that Valentine's Day will not be mushy and love. It will be HEAVY METAL ROCK DAY!
Valentine's Day. Too mushy.
Pink. Love. Hearts. CAN'T TAKE IT!
I have a heart. Don't break it.
Love. Too much to deal with.
What's with hearts on Valentine's Day anyways?
Having a crush on Valentine's Day is the worst thing that could happen to you!
Why do 6th graders celebrate Valentine's Day?
People in love scare me.
Love's just too cheezy.
Maybe you can do something really random that will get our class laugh'n their heads off!!
It's Valentine's Day for all the MUSHY peoples!
Charming. Another chocolate heart....
Love is full of misery.(tears illustration)
Candy. Candy. Candy.
Valentine's Day is obviously just to make card sales go up.
What are you looking at?
There's always a special someone.
Love always brings ya down!
Valentine's Day. Too many hearts.
Like Halloween, candy is probably your top priority right now.
Are you actually taking Valentine's Day seriously?
Valentine's Day. Tip #5: DON'T give out chocolate candy hearts. They're too cheezy and they all taste the same.
Let me guess, you're gonna give your crush a big candy chocolate heart -- yet will that person take it seriously?
