Just a few days ago I was asking about whether my Kindergartner was to bring a valentine for each classmate. Things have changed so much since I was in Kindergarten, so I'm always asking questions about what is appropriate and required and expected these days. I got some handy tips from the other moms who had dealt with the Kinder Valentine situation. I was debating between crafting our own or buying them. No more than an hour later I heard about Save the Children and that they were offering Valentine's Day cards. No more than five minutes after that, equipped with my credit card, I was ordering said cards. Here they are! The designs are by various illustrators of children's books.
This organization allows you to donate in so many ways. They have programs that help children in the United States and across the world with everything from literacy to hunger. I especially like being able to indicate which programs I want my donation to benefit and that such a large percentage of the donation is actually put towards the intended use and not to administrative costs. So check them out!
Oh, and we also made these nifty crayon hearts to go with the Valentine's Day cards. What can I say? I needed to get my craft on!
