So...I usually spend my entire nap time break planning and cleaning...okay, maybe not;). Anyhow...I glanced at the calendar today and then scrambled to my craft closet.
Sharing some ideas that I have looked for and planned for weeks (haha!)

THANK YOU!!

I was just thinking about this myself. I have all toddlers who still eat paint, glue, etc so I need something that is easy and doesn't require alot of materials.

[5 Little Monkeys]

I kept it simple this year....

They made a card today for their parents using stickers, stamps and gluing hearts onto it. I then added "happy valentines day, love xxx".

Than they helped pick out 4 popsicle sticks and I hot glued gun them together to make a frame (they watched). I made a sign last week that said "will you be mine" and took a pic of it with each child. I printed them off this weekend and they glued that onto their popsicle picture frame. If I go out this week and remember, I will buy some of those magnetic strips so that they can turn into a fridge magnet.

I made up little goody bags for each child that include a colouring book, stickers, pencils, heart chocolate sucker, and then lipsol and hair clips for the girls, water bottle and book for one boy and jelly beans(because he can't have chocolate), bubble wands and a stuffed monkey for the other boy.
