Valentine Coupons

Valentine's Day isn't just about romance. For children especially it is a chance to experience the joy of doing something for someone they care for "just because". At http://www.activitiesforkids.com/holiday/coupon.htm there is an activity for printing out "coupons" that the receiver can redeem at a later date. There are options for child-to-child coupons as well as child-to-adult coupons.
