Happy Valentine's: Will Zoo Be Mine?

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'!
