American Greetings Brings Creativity to Valentine’s Day with McDonald’s Happy Meal Card Kits

Cleveland, OH, Feb. 01, 2018 -- Expressing love and creativity has never tasted better! American Greetings, the meaningful connections company, is proud to announce the launch of the new “Valentine Card Kit” McDonald’s Happy Meal. Available now through February 12, 2018, children will enjoy one of four valentine card kits with the purchase of a Happy Meal at participating McDonald’s in the United States, while supplies last.

Whether it’s with animal-themed stickers, cute mosaic art or punch-out designs of silly creatures, each option in the “Valentine Card Kit” Happy Meal toy collection offers a different way to customize the greeting cards included inside. Even before opening their meal, kids are encouraged to “be creative for Valentine’s Day” with the craft ideas, stencils and pop-out card featured on the iconic Happy Meal box.

“Sharing a meal is a wonderful way to connect with friends and family, so we are thrilled to partner with McDonald’s to give children another opportunity to share their love this Valentine’s Day,” said Janet Dye, director of marketing at American Greetings.

More fun and creativity can be unlocked by scanning the Happy Meal toy with the free McPlay app or visiting happymeal.com.
