Dino-Mite Valentines!
Ok. Has this valentine idea been done to death? There are literally 100's of adorable dinosaur valentine ideas out there. Seriously. So why am I doing it again?
All right. So the dollar store had BIG plastic dinosaurs - a dollar each. Which would still get kind of pricey, right - buying 24 of them and all. But then I saw this pack of little STRETCHY dinosaurs and I thought they were pretty cute and fun. They came in a pack of 8 - 8!! So I snatched them up.
I was a little unsure of how to stick them on the cards... they are an odd shape after all. In the end, I poked two little holes vertically right in the middle (where it's blank). Then I wrapped twine through from the back, placed the dino on and tied the twine in a knot and bow. Cute! Because the dinos are squishy, the twine works really well because you can tie it really tight.
The t-rex was a challenge. I had to bend his legs all together. Very uncomfortable.
Here are the printables! If you have a die cutter, oval punch or more patience, you could cut them out as ovals, which is what I originally intended but I have the cutting abilities of a 4 year old so that didn't happen.
