On Monday I shared with you our watercolor postcard Valentines that the kids are sending to their grandparents and great-grandma. But that certainly isn’t the only “Valentining” we’ve been doing around these parts.
Today I wanted to share with you a fun Valentine that my kids are going to give some of their friends and cousins: these cute minion Valentines from the movie Despicable Me 2 designed by Marie of Makes and Takes.
My big kids loved the first movie and are getting excited for the sequel coming out this summer. The little yellow minions are their favorites, so I know these little Valentines will go over well. Plus, this craft involves using the printer, cutting, and those sticky glue dots (some of my six year old Max’s favorite crafty things right now).

Our version
We chose some fun red and pink Valentine’s Day themed pencils for our minions to hold on our version of the Valentines.
We used sticky glue dots, as Marie of Makes and Takes suggests, to attach them to the cards after we printed them out on cardstock.
I think they turned out pretty cute!
To grab your own minions for your kids to give to their Valentines, head over to Makes and Takes where you can download your Despicable Me 2 Valentine printable for free. While you’re over at Makes and Takes, be sure to check out the super cute minion hat, too!
