Valentine's Day Cards Kids Can Make Using Technology

Since we love adding technology into our homeschool, I've got to share a couple of great ways you can tech-up this project!

Valentine's Day Cards with Canva

One way is to have your kids design a Valentine's Day card or graphic on Canva. Here is a tutorial you can use to help them learn how to design their cards using this program. If they've been through my Graphic Design with Canva Course, a project like this would be a perfect extension!

Type a Poem Using Google Docs

Another option is to have your kids simply type up a poem or a kind note to include in their Valentine's Day cards using Google Docs. They can then print it out to include in their handmade cards.

In my Valentine's Day Online Unit Study, kids learn how to create a cinquain poem, so this would be a fun one to include!
