Book Reviews of Vintage Valentines (Press Out Book)
Book Review: What a happy surprise to see a book like this back in print!
Summary: 5 Stars
I was at Borders yesterday and while walking through the children's section, happened to see this book on the Valentine book display table. I couldn't believe such a book was in print again, and of course bought it, for the price is GREAT...only $4.99 for 25 Valentine cards. I have seen vintage books like these, some not even complete, go for $40 or more on ebay.
I collect vintage Valentine cards and have quite a few. I bought these because I like to have old-fashioned looking cards for my children and myself to send to relatives and friends. My children are homeschooled, and so never have had a school Valentine party where they needed Valentines to trade. I was always glad, because the ugly offerings we see in the stores really disappoint...who really wants a Sponge Bob valentine???
This book is very nice for children. The cards have fuzzy flocking on them, like was popular years ago. The cards are very very easy for a child to punch out. Some require a fold or two, some require inserting a tab into a slot, like the cute one of the ducky in the washtub of water. The book also includes cutouts to make 8 envelopes for the cards you would want to put in an envelope. Overall, these cards are just so pleasant to look at, with cute Valentine sayings; I can't imagine any child, adult, or grandparent not being happy to receive one of these cards. And they are easy enough that a child feels like he is "making" something, yet it isn't complicated at all. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves vintage Valentines or who wants a better alternative to the modern Valentine card offerings.
Summary of Vintage Valentines (Press Out Book)
This very special collection of vintage-style press-out cards, and envelopes, will conjure up memories of doilies, glitter, and shoeboxes full of homemade valentines! The red flocking on the cover will make consumers nostalgic for the simpler times during which these cards were originally created.Activity Books
