Just Add Stickers

Nothing says I love you like breakfast food with a face...right? The kids loved these cute food ornaments and I thought they would make a cute Valentine's tree! We used markers, mostly because they would dry faster but I also didn't want to paint over the faces.  Little Man chose the bacon, the egg and the fries, his favorite foods! Little Miss chose the ice cream, macarons and smores, everything sweet. That left me with the drinks and the taco, not a bad combination.  We coloured our food ornaments and I wrote food puns on the backs of the ornaments like, eggstra special, I love you smore and my favorite you bacon me crazy! We hung them on the Valentine's centerpiece that we've had for years. 

Valentine's day is the perfect occasion to DIY something special with the kids or as a surprise for the whole family. These are some of the Valentine's activities, decorations and gifts that we have made over the years. We loved making these countdow to Valentine's Day calendars.  These are a cute craft to make with the little ones. We made these Valentine's decor bowls when Little Man was 4 years-old. I remember it being a fun activity.  I made this Lego heart shapped box for Little Man back in 2016. For someone who us not an avid Lego builder, I am pretty proud of this creation and it is still around the house. This is a Valentine's letter association activity that I made with Little Miss before she started Kindergarten. It was a cute little activity to do together while practicing her letter recognition.
