Children Making Valentines for Veterans

Making Valentines for Veterans

The children at our church have been busy the past week or so making Valentines for Veterans.  Not only does it teach them about the importance of saying “Thank you,” we also talk to them about serving our country and how soldiers keep America safe.

Stickers or Finger painting

When it came to the actual decorating we gave them several choices. This little guy is finger painting dots on his valentine. Looks like he’s got all his “dots in a row!”

Kids Love Stickers

These two gals are cousins. They preferred stickers to painting. I hope our veterans like stickers…lots and lots of stickers.

Then they decided that maybe painting would be fun after all and it was!

  1. That is such a wonderful idea. I bet the kids and especially the recipients found the experience special. My mother got a Chrismas card from a little one from a local Catholic school and cherishes it.

  2. No set design. We just picked out a few simple things and let them choose. You could do it locally and take valentines to your local VFW club.
