It’s February! The month of all things red, hearts, and if you’re a mom, a last-minute mad dash to the store on February 13th at 8 p.m. to get a classroom’s worth of valentines to send your child to school with (I’m that mom). This year, for my sanity, and yours, I’ve compiled the easiest and cutest kid’s Valentine’s Day crafts that a busy mom can pull off.

Rest assured ladies, all ideas have been pulled from the Mother’s Bible: Pinterest.

1. Edible Valentines

Most schools have banned homemade food items, but some will allow packaged candies for children to take home. Here are some adorable ideas.

2. Put A Ring On It

A lady’s love of giant rings starts young. Print out these free cards from TheGraciousWife.com and dazzle those little darlings. Little boys love Ring Pops too!

Cost: $10

• $7 for the party pack of Ring Pops

5. Graphite Gift

Any parent with grade school children will tell you that the only thing that disappears quicker in the house than pencils is food and money. That’s why I love Cupid’s Pencil. It’s cute, quick and easy. And if you’re feeling super productive, you can put the names of your child’s classmates on the pencils or hearts.
