DIY STEM Valentine’s Day Cards:
For the aspiring artists among us, creating your own Valentine’s Day cards is a great way to show family and friends how special they are. Work with your young innovator to pair these STEM-inspired phrases with fun doodles to get your creativity flowing!
- You are o-fish-ally my best friend
- I “lava” our friendship
- You brighten up my cloudiest days
- You are DINO-might
- Thank you for “bee-ing” such a good friend
- Don’t be shocked – I think our friendship is electric
- I like you a “bot”
- Thank you for helping me grow, Valentine
- It’s simple math! 2 + 2 = 4ever friends
- I couldn’t invent a better friend
Decorating these cards can be as simple as picking out festive colored paper and adding hand-drawn or printed doodles that match your selected sayings. However, if your child is up for an extra challenge, you can take the look of the cards up a notch by adding cool decoration techniques like geometric shapes or bubble art that will give the cards a standout background!
- Geometric Shapes can become an awesome background when you combine lines and shapes of various colors to make your own geometric pattern.
- Bubble Art is achieved by taking a disposable bowl of bubble solution, mixing in a small amount of tempera paint, and using a bubble wand to blow colorful bubbles onto the card that will dry in a fun pattern. Remember to lay down newspaper before using paint to prevent a mess!
