Teacher Valentine Treat

Anybody who teaches children under the age of 6 deserves a raise, a medal and a special place in heaven. Actually all teachers!

The tutorial to make these marshmallow pops can be found here.

Heart Marshmallow Pops

I am so HaPpY with how these turned out! Super Easy and Super Cute!!

Supplies:
Heart Shaped Marshmallows (Walmart)
White Chocolate Chips
Lollipop Sticks
Misc Toppings
Sprinkles, M&Ms, Nerds, Melted Chocolate
Assemble the Marshmallows on the sticks. I played around with the arrangement. I found one down and one up worked best.

Next I melted the white chocolate, filled up a ziplock, snipped off the corner of the bag and drizzled away. I did the same with the milk chocolate on some and added the sprinkles.

So Good! And a BIG HIT with the Kiddos too!!

I used these as teacher treats...SUPER CUTE!!!

Another Easy Valentine's Decoration on the CHEAP!!

I've LOVED seeing this quote on all sorts of signs, so I decided to make my own version with no $$.

Step 1. Type the quote. I played around with the fonts for a bit, trying to find a good combo. I used Robot Teacher & Teenage Girl 2. ( Not sure where I found those fonts but I know they were free because I've never paid for a font)

Step 2. Using yet another extra frame, I wrapped the back with some Valentine's gift wrap

Step 3. I outlined the LOVE with some glitter paint to add some dimension and sparkle.

Wrap it up with a bow! AND DONE!

Love this idea!! Think I might have to give it a try! Thanks Martha :)

Happy Valentine's Day for Crayon out loud!

I just LOVE the idea of passing out Valentine's day cards!! Here are the ones we made last year.

I had seen this idea a while back (probably in FamilyFun) and knew this was a perfect Logan project.

Starting with a bunch of left over crayons, we peeled off the paper and filled up these cute cupcake molds, melted them in the oven @250 degrees for 10-15 minutes and

Voila! a cute little heart shaped rainbow crayon was born.


For the cards, I had Logan design one...he cut out the heart and wrote "You color my world" and then I scanned and copied it...then I glued the crayons to each card and he filled in the to:____ part. He wants to make them again this year but add a warning "this is a crayon not a candy" I guess there was some confusion last year :)

UPDATE: These are the new versions for this year.

For our Valentine's Playdate

For Caden's preschool class

For Logan's class

Happy Hearts

I saw this post here and I just LOVED it! If you explore further in her post, you will notice she switches it up for other holidays...flexible holiday decorations, how great is that?!? Only problem, I wanted to make it NOW and a trip to Michael's was not an option. Time to get creative.

I found a font that was big and blocky, it's called Athletic, and a heart from Goggle Images. Sized them to fit my frame, which was an old one, just waiting for a new purpose.

Print and cut out old school (since I don't have one of those awesome Silhouette machines)

Glue and Glitter

Add some ol' dusty scrapbook paper and poof a cute Valentines decoration on the cheap.
