Valentine Cards to Oklahoma Children's Hospital

Step 1. Gathering Supplies:

What are the supplies I can use?
Basic Requirements 

- Essential items include paper and writing utensils such as pens, crayons, or markers. Creative Additions
- Feel free to use additional craft supplies like stickers, colored paper, and non-shedding decorations. Avoid anything that might come off easily, like excessive glitter, to ensure the cards are safe and clean.

Step 2. Addressing the card: 

- Use general, cheerful greetings like "Hello There!" or "To an Awesome Kid!" that are universally appealing and do not address the recipient directly by name.

Step 3. Writing messages on the Front / Inside the Card:

- Craft messages that are uplifting and encouraging, steering clear of references to illness or recovery as well as “God Bless” or “I’m praying for you”.

We suggest uplifting messages that focus on the child as a whole rather than their illness, such as: 

"You're incredible!", "Keep smiling!", "Sending you lots of joy!", or "You're a star in Oklahoma!"

Step 4. Make sure that you DO NOT…….

- Refrain from including personal information (social media accounts, emails, phone number, etc.), any messages that might be considered sensitive, or write any religious comments such as “God Bless” or “I’m praying for you”
Oklahoma Children’s Hospital cannot distribute  Cards with these comments. Oklahoma Children’s Hospital treat patients of all religions as well as patients that do not practice religion.

Step 5. Sign your name:

- Now, sign your name on the card. If you’d like, you can also include class, school, organization, or city.
