Ninja Paratroopers {Valentines For Boys}

The Valentine’s Parties at school are Friday.  The rowdiest party of the year in elementary school and I’m not entirely certain we will be up for it.

Sadly, A.P. has been barking like a seal with croup all week, and has passed it on to Maybelle.  Absence does not exempt children from providing a fun little treat to their class though, so I need to be prepared.

I like to give something other than candy for Valentine’s Day; mainly so there is none left over in my house that I end up eating.

This year we found some 8 year old boy approved valentines, which is not always easy.  It involves ninjas.

Of course I saw it on Pinterest, and got all of the instructions from Supermom Moments.

Then I didn’t follow them.  The fact that I am thinking outside the box {of store bought Valentines} is impressive enough, I figure.

A.P. liked the ninja paratroopers from Kent Novelty better than the regular ones, so they’re a lot smaller.

I didn’t use cardstock, like she suggested, I just used regular paper.

They are going to be torn into like, well, Valentines on Valentine’s Day.  I also just used regular snack bags.  I experimented with other forms of fastening {stapling, taping, etc} and that was the best option given the materials available in my house.

They are still cute though.

What are your kids bringing for Valentine’s Day?
