Valentine box

Wanted to share what my daughter made for her valentine Box. First she wanted to make a dog with an open mouth to collect the valentine. So she wrapped the shoe box with brown paper. Then just a day before she had to take the box, she said she would like to make the unicorn instead. Oh well, we didn't have time and patience to wrap the box again with white paper, so we went with brown paper base. Though white paper would have looked great, this wasn't too bad, right?..;)

Classroom Valentine.

I have made the non-candy valentine, for the past few times for my kids to give it out to their classmates. I definitely prefer non-candy valentine. But this time my daughter wanted to give out chocolates. You can guess, she is a big chocolate lover...:) So I made these and I think these are cute - heart shaped chocolate to make the arrows.

You make My Heart Soar Valentine

I worked on getting the valentine exchange gifts ready for the kids classroom today. The other day, when I was at the store, found these airplane making kit and loved it. Just perfect for the little kids, which they will have fun playing with later.

I also found just the appropriate wording " You make my heart soar" to go with these kit. Aren't these cute!

Christmas/Holiday Snack for Kids

I am sharing some cute winter related snacks I made for a playdate recently. Since this might have been the last playdate for the year, wanted to include soe fun snacks and also which was appropriate for a day at the park. 

Apart from these snowmen, we had santa hats fruit kabobs, reindeer cookies and some really addictive Christmas tree chips from Trader Joes. I love Trader Joes and they have some really fun seasonal stuff. Christmas tree chips were these potato chips in the form of Christmas trees. I could have eaten a whole bag of that.

Birthday Classroom Favors

Few days back, when we celebrated our daughter's b'day, we wanted to celebrate her birthday with her classmates too. In the past, I have taken cupcakes to be shared with the classroom, but with the policy of no food items to be shared in class, I was looking for different ideas.

Cupcake Wrapper Flowers

The other day, one of my kids told me that she had to make somethings for her classmates for a project. With something of a last minute thing, we settled on making these cupcake liner flowers, attached to the end of the pencils. Well, second graders do need pencils with a pretty topper, don't they?..:D We also made some pet rocks and maybe I will keep that for another post. It was fun making pet rocks too.

For now, let's get back to these flowers. I think, these will be cute to pass even during valentine  gift exchange in class. Or may be make a bunch of these and make a bouquet for your school teachers with a note " Thank you for helping me bloom".
