It's Art Day: Valentines for 400 of my closest friends! (Free Printable)

Here's the best way I can describe it... 

Every week, I invite 400 of my closest friends over to do our favorite things. Play, make, laugh, party and create BIG messes, BIG moments, and BIG memories. We clean up. Well, we try. We do our best. Before we can get cleaned up, it's time to do it all over again!!!! 

My 400 friends are BAAAAACK!!!!!

SO.... I created this valentine that I can print on various colored paper. I don't have the means of printing 400 color valentines or $$$ to buy them or the time to make them. I love my students and want to show them!  I've been handing these out all week. The amazing office assistants gave me  colored card stock. and of course in RAINBOW fashion! :-) 

I've posted a FREE PRINTABLE for you below! So if you do things last minute like me! DOWNLOAD AND PRINT PRINT PRINT!

Students first were given a few corks to explore. I demonstrated with "my turn" then, "now its your turn." 

We stamped with one color at a time. the colors we used were White, Turquoise and Red.
