S'More Valentine Ideas

The day of wuv is upon us.  Wuv.  Twu wuv.  (Any other Princess Bride fans out there?!)

 

Below, please find (enjoy, print & recreate!) the Valentine's my kiddos shared today.

 

 

The printable bag topper for these adorable s'mores Valentine's can be found at the Domesticated Lady website.  The topper even has instructions on the back on how to make your s'mores in the microwave.  Genius.

 

Those fun marshmallows are actually available to purchase from Jet-Puffed at Valentine's.  No need to try to make them myself.  Woot! 

 

My Stevie chose to go the Milk & Cookie route with his Valentine's this year.  I found this great Valentine on Pinterest, but each and every link was spam, so I had to recreate the bag topper myself (but, as always, I'm happy to share!)  And if you happen to know where this great idea began, please let me know and I'll be happy to give credit where credit's due!

Our beloved teachers got lollipop bouquets this year.  This idea was inspired by Organized Chaos.  Each bouquet has a tag that reads: Roses are red.  Violets are blue.  Pops are sweet & so are you!  I'm sharing my tags here.  My petals were cut using my Cricut.  I made the red petal about 3 1/2" wide, the pink 2 1/2".  I used a standard hole punch (1/4") for the centers.  Twist the pop in the direction it's wrapper is twisted and it slides right in.

Valentine's Day

Here are some do-it-yourself Valentine's your kiddoes can take to school.

the force is strong with you, valentine

Make these great Star Wars Valentines with glow bracelet "light sabers".

Print the Valentines on photo paper (for best quality) or white cardstock.  You can print them from here: Star Wars Valentines.  Once dry, cut the Valentines out.  Using an Exacto knife, cut 1" slits above the hands where the "light sabers" will go.  The slit has to be large so the glow bracelet slides in without bending.  Put a connector on the end of each glow bracelet, then slide them carefully into the slits from behind the Valentine.  Place a piece of tape on the back holding the glow bracelet in place.


my heart's all aflutter

These adorable Valentines are availble for printing from Skip To My Lou.  While printing, add goggle eye to the lollipops.  Once the Valentine's are printed, cut out and add 2 slits to slide the lollipop through.  You can then decorate the butterfly, we added heart shaped stickers to ours.  Once finished, add the pop and bend the wings upwards.

you make my heart race

Print our Valentines from here: Chocolate Car Valentines (or make up some of your own) on pink and red cardstock, making sure to leave room for the tire tracks.  For our tracks, I found the Hot Wheel with the chunkiest tires my son had.  We put a little black paint on a paper plate and ran the tires through it.  Practice on a plain peice of paper, or even the edge of  your paper plate so you see how much paint you need to make just the right tracks.  Once the paint dries, attach your chocolate foil cars.  We used glue dots.

you and lollipops

Take a photo of your child, pretending to hold a giant lollipop.  Using the photo, make a 4"x6" card with a Valentine's greeting.  Once the cards are printed and dried, use and exacto knife to cut slits in the top and bottom of your childs hand and slide the stick of the lollipop through them.
