Have you seen the pictures kids take with outstretched arms and then they add a sucker to the picture later so it looks like they are holding it? I was trying to think of a unique and easy Valentine and it dawned on me, “Why can’t my girl’s use their pets to do the same thing?” and poof, DIY pet sucker Valentine’s were born!

I used the app Word Swag to do the wording and printed these from my phone to Walgreens. I used scissors to snip slits for the suckers and it couldn’t be easier!

I also have one where the guinea had the sucker in its mouth. I mean…I can’t. I love these!

I love doing creative things for my kids and to inspire others! I’d love for you to share this post or pin it to spread the creative juices around. Happy early Valentine’s!!!!

These guinea pig printable invites are from my FAVORITE source for printables: KudzuMonster on Etsy. I did a post on some of my favorite Valentine’s of hers last year.

My daughter got two guineas for Christmas so, of course, it’s what she is in to right now. KudzuMonster, no surprise had these one-of-a-kind Valentine’s in her shop. Coming to a 4th grade class near you.

Guinea pig tested and approved!

My oldest little girl came up with some of THE BEST Valentine ideas so I think she has some “her party pants” in her genes! Woo hoo! She wanted to do a “blow me away” Valentine with balloons so we made it happen. We found a “you blow me away” instant download printable in the Etsy shop TitaTipsPrintables that was meant for bubbles. She thought we could replace the bubbles with balloons and fill the balloons with candy, so we did! She picked two different color coordinating balloons and we stuffed them and tied them with black and white baker’s twine.

To fill the balloons, I put my fingers in the opening and stretched it open for dear life will I pleaded with my 8 year old to hurry up and stuff the dang candy in! #reallifebro

I glued each balloon on with a hot glue gun and, believe it or not, it doesn’t damage the latex at all and they peel off effortlessly! The candy empties easily and the balloon is ready to blow!

Pin, share, enjoy!

I found these two puppies on good ole’ Pinterest.  I picked out the choice pool and let my two girls each pick one out.  LOVE THEM!  One printable is free (gem) and one I bought for 3 dollars on Etsy (donut).  I had my own card stock so it was really affordable!  Aren’t they the sweetest?!

Baker’s twine, small clear bags and an assortment of ring pops and you be straight ballin’ on Valentine’s Day.  I used clear little bags from the bead and jewelry aisle at Hobby Lobby and trimmed of the Ziploc top after tying them off.  They come in a cha-jillion a pack.
