The 4-year old's preschool is pretty strict on food items that can be brought in. I mean, there is an approved food list (oreos, teddy grahams, 100% fruit popsicles, apple slices) and 4-year olds only need so much candy anyway, right?
I saw these posted over at Blue Robin Cottage and just HAD to make them!
I used a Safari Ltd toob from Hobby Lobby (also found at Michaels Craft Store and Amazon) with a 40% coupon, so it was only $6.
Left over cardboard boxes from shipping boxes (not yet cleaned up from Christmas)
Letter stamps, red ink pad, and red/white bakery twine I already had on hand.
The little one signed her own name on all 11 Valentine's and colored in the little hearts I drew.
This was a pretty easy craft, but stamping each letter 11x was a bit tedious. There was no candy involved, no wasted paper and included one small toy. It cost a total of $6 and 1 - 2 hours of time (depending on how much your child helps).
Happy Creatin'!
