My Kids' Valentiens

These are the valentines I made for my kids this year. My youngest has to bring some to preschool both Thursday and Friday, so I made two different ones for him. They both get the fundip pull outs, but the younges also gets the little purses with reeses' hearts in them. ;) The bouquets are for the teachers.:)
