Valentines

Today is my daughter’s Valentine’s Day party in her kindergarten class. I thought I would show you what we (cough cough… I) made for her class.

So I have this problem where I can’t just buy regular paper Valentines from a store anymore. No, I need to go big with something handmade that takes me hours. I blame Pinterest…

So here are all of the Valentines goodies…

First, Hailey had to decorate a box for the Valentines she receives. She had so much fun!

I found this idea for friendship bracelets and jars of candy on Pinterest weeks ago. I don’t like doing candy very much in the Valentines so this was perfect. I decided to break out my thread and start picking colors… Fast forward to last night at 8:00 when I was making almost all of the bracelets and printing everything! I am guilty of major procrastination. I even had to get Hailey out of bed to write on all of the labels… Yeah that’s bad. But she wasn’t asleep yet so that’s ok, right?

So here are the lovely and colorful bracelets! I love the tag.

For the teachers, they got little mason jars full of chocolate.

“It takes a big heart to shape little minds.”

Hailey was very excited for her party!

I love how everything turned out. It was worth all of the time and work! I will make sure I plan ahead better next year.

 

Here are some Valentine’s from the past!

    What fantastic ideas, where would we be without Pinterest? I guess we would just have to use our own imaginations a bit more!! Your daughter looks so pleased, I'm sure it was worth being got out of bed for, if she is anything like my boy they can usually find plenty of their own reasons for getting back out of bed! I hope she had a lovely day. x

    You are a good mommy! Such great ideas. Yes, where would we be without Pinterest? A whole lot less creative, don't you think? LOL

    Such a sweet little gift, it must've taken ages to do all those bracelets! I love that you got your daughter out of bed to sign them, sooooo funny, that is exactly the sort of thing I would do lol
