Secret Valentine's Day Messages


Instead of handing out traditional valentines, your child can send messages in the following fun ways.

Directions

  1. Write on plain white paper with a toothpick dipped in lemon juice. Iron the paper to reveal the message.
  2. Lay several Popsicle sticks side by side to form a square. Lay strips of tape across all the sticks to join them. Turn the square over. Write a message on the front of it. Remove the tape and put the sticks in an envelope. Put the puzzle back together to read the message.
  3. Write on a small valentine card. Roll up the card and insert it into a balloon with some confetti. Blow up the balloon and pop it to reveal the valentine inside.
  4. Blow up a red, pink, or white balloon and pinch the opening shut. Write on the inflated balloon, then deflate it. Blow up the balloon to read the message.
