The boys helped me make this cute garland for the foyer. They glued conversation hearts onto cut out hearts and we strung it with ribbon! Derrick and I don't get into these kind of holidays very much, but I like to do them with the kids and decorate! Valentine's Day was always fun in elementary school. I loved passing out cards to all my friends.
For our little friends out of state, who are too little for gum, we made little foam puppet sticks for Valentine's Day! Derrick bought these for the kids 3 years ago! They came with so many and last forever. Aaron had fun picking out some to make for himself too.
Dallin signed the Valentine's for his preschool class. They are skateboards with a stick of gum slid into each little slot! I actually ordered these LAST year, but they didn't get to Alaska in time to use for Valentine's Day, so he is using them this year! We had enough for his whole class and extras to send to our little friends out of state!
To a "Pop Pop Popular Teacher!". I made these to give to Dallin's preschool teachers. This idea came from Family Fun Magazine. So many cute ideas on that site/magazine! I hot glued a package of microwave poporn onto the back of each scrapbook paper cutout of a popcorn box.
We are still working on ideas for Grandparents this year, but I won't be posting those since they check the blog, and it wouldn't be a suprise! Linked up to : Skip to My Lou

Brandy, I have an adorable idea for V-day next year for grandparents (or even teachers) if you're interested. I'm going to be posting pics of it pretty quick....I'm making some for the fam and don't want to ruin the surprise quite yet!
ReplyDeleteOh, I also have a cute idea for friends or classmate v-day fun. I'll take a pic of it as well (I made them for my primary kids) and will post on my blog.
