Love is a many-splendored thing. And when it comes to kids, we do mean many. Their scope of passion often stretches beyond Mom and Dad, beyond even Grandma and Grandpa and Thumper and the goldfish, to include marshmallows and the neighbor's dog and everyone who works at the pizza place down the street. That's not even including the chief recipients of their valentine output: all of their classmates, teachers, and friends at school.
To the rescue are the following eight valentines. From bunny thumbprint cards that multiply like rabbits to a nifty candy plane that's assembled in seconds, these valentines are inexpensive, can be quickly mass-produced, and are guaranteed to woo everyone on your children's lists.
