Here are a couple of the fun Valentine's Day projects that we made last year! We are planning on making more fortune cookies this year, and we have other ideas that we'll share next month. Thanks for looking!
Homemade Fortune Cookies are SO good! The almond extract really comes through and they are so simple to make. They do take a bit of time however since you can only cook 3-4 at a time. We also made some Dipped Fortune Cookies. Yum! We made these for Dallin's teacher and bus driver last year and he wrote out his own "fortunes". Aaron also made some for members of the family. Most had a little picture instead of a fortune. It was very cute.
I also made a big batch and brought them into Young Women's. They were a HIT.

Target has these little mailboxes in their $1 section again this year! I saw them last week :) The kids made these last year and had a lot of fun sending and receiving mail all month long. We still have them, at least 2 of them (I'm still looking for Kaylee's). I am going to put them out again this year to spread a little love.
Linking this project up on Today's Creative Blog!

Those mailboxes are so cute - what a great idea!! Love the fortune cookies, too! I made fortune cookies for a FHE with scriptures inside - made looking up the scriptures a little more fun (and yummy!!)
