Tate gave homemade stamp of approval valentines at her playgroup party this year and they were so easy that I have to share the idea.
Like most three year olds, Tate loves art supplies: markers, stamps, glue sticks … the messier, the better. If you have a three year old, you can relate, right? Since she’s so into stamps, she thought it would be fun to give some to her friends as well.
We bought cute and inexpensive rubber stamps in the valentine section at Walmart …
… and attached heart-shaped tags with this text: “valentine, you get my stamp of approval”. I just printed the text on our computer and cut a heart shape around it, using a scrapbooking stencil that I have. Tate added a little three year old crayon artwork to each tag to customize them.
I punched a hole on one side and used ribbon to tie the tag to the rubber stamp.
These stamp of approval valentines are simple and sweet, just how I like it.

Great idea, so cute, and I know she enjoyed making them special like that. Saw your link at Monday Funday, thanks for sharing with us.

So cute & it’s not candy!!! After I made mine today I thought how I really should have done something not edible. But I do think mine are cute. Going to attempt to finish in the morning so I can share on the blog tomorrow.
Super cute! Her friends will love it!
I love this idea. I have been looking for a idea for my daughters 1st grade class, I think that she might approve of this!!! I was trying to stay away from candy, I did a blog on flower crayons that I will be turning into Valentine’s soon for my other daughters preschool class, but she didn’t want them for hers, Thanks for sharing!!!
