Need some quick ideas for handmade Valentines ... like I do?
I just wrote a roundup of links to some adorable ideas on my other blog. Most of them came from the Crafty Crow, so you could head there, too.
This one from Full Circle is my favorite--a bouquet of poppies, each one containing a Dum Dum sucker inside. Our preschool doesn't allow candy, so I'm trying to think of something else I could use in place of the sucker. A pipe cleaner? A pencil?
Anyone know of other good links to Valentine's fun?
It's gorgeous! How about a pencil with something at the end - Ronja has a few pencils that look like this. Then you would have poppies hiding a small animal, heart, or something similar (depending on what you can find) in the middle. :)

That would have been adorable. Those pencils are so cute!
I showed Bo the photo of the poppies and she decided she didn't want to make them, probably because I'm always making carnations out of tissue paper and she's tired of them. Oh, well. Maybe her sister will be willing next year or maybe I can make them as party favors for a birthday. I'm on the hunt for pencils like that now!
You can see what we did end up making on a post I wrote today:
