You’re the BALM Free Valentine’s Printable

I was SHOCKED last year how many kids had a “Valentine” in our area. In fact, the boy who asked my then 13 year old daughter to be his Valentine was practically a stranger to her. That takes some guts, man! 

So, she didn’t know how to react. She kept trying to convince me to buy him gifts from her, and I was the calm and collected mom on the outside but on the inside, I was like “HECCCCKKK no!” 

I asked her if she liked him, and she was insistent that she didn’t. So I continued to ask her WHY she would buy him something then. I explained to her that gifts are a token of affection. 

In the end, we came up with a solution together. She would bring something small to ALL of her friends. Something to give the “Valentine” boy, so she wouldn’t feel silly if he gave her a gift, but then she also got to choose a few other boys and girls to give the gift to. It was a pretty genius plan. 

All you need to do is print off this free printable, use an inch circle punch and undo the chapstick for .1 seconds and screw it back together around your punched hole. 

I hope this saves a few of your from the same problem we had last year. 

oxoxo,
