Lollipop Valentines: Easy Valentine’s Day Classroom Craft

Lollipop Valentines:  Easy Valentine’s Day Classroom Craft

Want a creative, easy, yet super-frugal idea for your child’s classroom Valentines this year?   All this one requires is a camera, a bag of lollipops, and a pair of scissors.   It’s as easy as 1-2-3.  These lollipop valentines would be great to pass out in the classroom or to give to friends and family.  Here’s how I made them:

lollipop valentines day card

1.  I took a photo of each of my kids with their hand outstretched as if holding on to a lollipop (This took a little explaining for my 7-year-old son.  He didn’t quite “get” why he couldn’t hold on to the actual lollipop).

2.  I uploaded the photos on to my computer and added the Happy Valentine’s Day border at Walgreens.com.  You’ll find it when you click on the “edit” feature as “add a border.” (Frugal Tip:  From now until 2/12 you can enter coupon code LOVE25 to get 25 prints FREE when you order 25 prints at Walgreens.  This includes these custom 4×6 Valentine prints – SUPER FRUGAL!).  I placed my order online and they were ready to pick up just 45 minutes later.

Note:  You can order the same Valentine border through Snapfish.com.  Plus, new customers get 20 prints free, so you may even be able to save even more!

3.  After I picked up the photos, I inserted a lollipop through a tiny hole I made at the top of each child’s hand with a sharp pair of scissors and then out through another tiny hole at the bottom of their hand on the photo.  If needed, you can secure the lollipop with a piece of tape on the back.

That’s it.  You’ve got a frugal, unique and fun lollipop Valentine’s Day card that costs less than the packs you buy in the store.

A big thanks goes out to 24-7-365 for providing creative inspiration on this one!

    Cool idea! Too bad Walgreens doesn’t have this design anymore and Snapfish is $16 for 20 prints!!??

      Michele – I just checked and still saw it on Walgreens through the link above. It’s under “more” then “valentine.” The design is called sketchy hearts. Hopefully that helps.

⚙️ Several recipes and countless taste tests later, we're proud to present our definitive Beerita Recipe, a symphony of flavors balanced to perfection. And the best part? They're a breeze to whip up!

📝 Here's the golden recipe:
12-oz. limeade
Two 12-oz. beers 🍻
12 oz. tequila 🥃
12 oz. Sprite 🍾
1 C. ice ❄️

🗣️ From the Mixologists: We tried a version with one beer - good, but two beers? Even better. Worried about a 'beery' taste? Don't be! The beer merely offsets the tartness of the limeade, while the Sprite adds a refreshing fizz.
