If your child is not up for it, don't torture them.

We spent a huge amount of time getting our dysgraphic kid to do this kind of stuff, which is one of the reasons he's progressed as far as he has: bad, but normal bad.

We made marbled paper prints with shaving cream and liquid water colors. We will make the paper into valentines.

Here's another unhinged plan-in-advance tip. I have my DD write out thank you notes for her birthday party gifts over the course of a few weekends, a few at a time, right before the party. Then all she has to do is leave a blank -- "Thank you so much for the ____" to fill in later. She just fills each one in as she opens their present once home from the party. This saves a lot of time because she likes to personalize each card, draw pictures on them, etc.

I must have missed the part on this thread that said "torture your child with dysgraphia."

Not everything is meant as a threat to your son with a very specific set of needs (fwiw I also have a kid with dysgraphia and found that valentines were a good way to practice writing skills in a low pressure way.)

They dont need to sign anything. Just doodle or cut, etc.

Make them!

Paint plain paper, or use construction paper. Look up instructions for origami, find printables online.
