No Sweets for my Sweeties!

Anyone who has children knows that holidays mean candy and sweets, whether it be a box of chocolates for Valentines Day, candy canes at Christmas or the piles of candy they receive at Easter and Halloween.  My sweet little boys are already full of natural energy, so I wanted to create a Valentine’s gift that didn’t include a bunch of sugar.  As I was surfing Amazon, Hello, My name is Cindee and I’m addicted to online shopping, I found these cute little frogs and the ideas started rolling!Some of my first thoughts were: “You make my heart leap”, “I’d jump at the chance to be yours”, and “Hoppy Valentine’s Day!”  And the winner was…..

We all know little boys can never have enough cars to push around the house, (trust me I’ve stepped on my fair share). Hot wheels are also affordable and come in pink and purple too for little girls, which makes this card a great option for a school Valentine exchange. 

“I wheelie like you’, “My heart races for you”, and….

Putting these together was so easy!  Most of these toys can be purchased online or at your local dollar store.  You will also need: cellophane bags (I bought mine at my local craft store), a stapler, and scissors.

Fine Print: We are absolutely flattered that our crafty friends would want to make cute items from our original copyright patterns or art to sell in their online shops or brick and mortar stores. We are thrilled to grant that permission. We do, however, request that anywhere the item is for sale, (on each and every online listing OR on each item in your brick and mortar store that a Simply Notable pattern has been used), that you link back to us here at Simply Notable so others can enjoy the same free pattern you utilized. When you sprinkle the Simply Notable love back our way in the form of links, it lets us know how much you appreciate the free patterns we’ve shared. The only hard line we draw here at Simply Notable is that the free patterns and/or art themselves absolutely cannot be sold.
