lunchbox printables for Valentine's Day

I don’t know about you, but I always find February to be the most dreary month of the year.  The weather where I live is gray and cold.  The excitement of celebrating Christmas and the new year is long gone.

But then there’s Valentine’s Day right in the middle of the month to spice things up.  So it’s fun to make the most of that little holiday and spread some cheer among loved ones.

Add some lunchtime cheer with fun, free lunchbox printables for Valentine’s Day!

These new lunchbox printables for Valentine’s Day are designed to make the dreary month of February a little more fun for kids at lunchtime.  Like my other lunchbox printables, these are a simple way to encourage kids while they’re at school.

All of my lunchbox printables have nine designs on an 8.5 x 11 piece of paper.  You just print out the PDF document, cut them out, and pop them into lunchboxes.  They’re small enough to fit easily into lunches, but there’s a little room to write a personal message and/or sign them if you want.

Where we love is home – Free printable adult coloring page

Leave a reply

Have you jumped on the adult coloring trend?

I’ve always enjoyed coloring with my kids.  It’s an easy way to create something unique by playing with colors and exercising your imagination to produce your own aesthetic on the picture.

Despite the fact that my kids preferred to scribble over my neatly colored pages, it was always a nice, calming activity for everyone.  It’s a great way for kids to focus and practice those fine motor skills that are involved.

My kids are older now, so we don’t share Winnie the Pooh coloring books anymore.  My 10-year-old daughter and I have moved on to more grown-up coloring pages.

Science agrees that coloring is a good idea since it helps people relax and calm the mind – which is why adults are now coloring in droves.  I recently noticed that many of the best-selling books on Amazon are adult coloring books, so obviously it has really caught on!

For Valentine’s Day, I wanted to do a little coloring project of my own to add some personalized flair to my home decor.  So I decided to create a free printable adult coloring page that I could share here with you.

I love this quote from Oliver Wendell Holmes:

Where we love is home – home that our feet may leave, but not our hearts.

This rings so true!  Home is not just about where we live; it’s about that special place where we love.

This was the perfect sentiment for my Valentine’s Day coloring page!  Well, it’s really a mini coloring page since I wanted something that wouldn’t be too time consuming to complete.

Some of those adult coloring book pages are incredibly intricate and take a big commitment to get them done!  You won’t have to worry about that with this printable version.  I made it as a small print so it’s easy to complete even while managing a busy schedule.

This mini coloring page printable is sized for a 5X7 frame to display at home.  It’s also perfect for a homemade card.  It’s in a PDF format with trim lines around the 5X7 design.

I decided on a Valentine’s Day color scheme for mine, but my daughter went with a variety of colors.  I like her colorful version even better!

The quote makes this printable great for Valentine’s Day and beyond.  I think I’ll leave mine on display until it’s time for my St. Patrick’s Day Irish toast printable!

What’s your favorite way to color – colored pencils, gel pens? My daughter and I colored these with no-smear gel pens that I like for bright colors. Click here to check out my gel pen review.
