Secret Message Valentines for Dia del Amor y Amistad! I love that in Spanish a common way to to translate Valentine’s Day is saying “Day of Love and Friendship.”

My boys love all things spies, secret agents, mission impossible…. So when  I told my oldest that we were going to write secret messages to his dad and brothers, he was on board.  This is even a super easy Valentine’s card you can have kids make in class or to give to classmates.

I am always looking for simple  ways to make 40 plus Valentines for my boys classmates. One of our desires as parents is to help our boys see that Valentine’s day is not just for lovers but a time to share “nuestra amistad y amor” with our friends, neighbors, those in need…

What you will need for our Secret Message Valentines are basic things you can find around your house.

Supplies:

• white card stock paper shaped into hearts
• white crayon
• water color paint

The “invisible ink” is the white crayon.  The watercolor paint is what helps uncover the secret message!

1. Write your message with the white crayon on your white card stock paper. Make sure you press down hard when writing.

2. Make cupids arrow and attach over heart.

2. Give your Valentine their secret message and let them know that they will need water color paint to uncover the message. Or you have the water color paint on hand and let them paint over it in front of you.

Valentine’s Day or Día de San Valentín (Día del Amor y la Amistad) is almost here again, and it’s never too early to start preparing. Our niños always have a blast on this day because they get to make a special card for their friends, and not to mention share some sweet treats with them too.

We’ve prepared three different Día de San Valentin activities in Spanish featuring Minnie. Print Valentine’s day cards, have your kids create their own mail box for all those Valentine’s, or bake up some  delicious Valentine cookies to share. Whichever you choose to do first, have fun chatting in Spanish about this special day!

P.S.: Remember these adorable Valentine´s Day Cards in Spanish Viva Greetings created just for SpanglishBaby amigos last year? They were all the rage!
