Who ever said that Gingerbread houses are just for Christmas? We see them a lot for Halloween now but for Valentines Day?!?!? Here we have a great simple gingerbread house design assembled with all kinds of Valentines Day goodies. This would be a great gift and can be stuffed with even more goodies for a special gift. I have seen these for Halloween and Christmas that the roof is actually a lid – how cool would that be?
What a great Valentines Day favor for your child to give to their classmates. Print the below graphic out at 4″ wide by 3″ tall. Cut at lines to each side of text to insert a mechanical pencil, special design regular pencil or special red pen. Have your little one sign the bottom with their names. You could also add a ribbon bow at the top for a more dramatic look. It is suggested to print on cardstock. Pencils and Pens with Valentines Day theme can be purchased at many dollar stores. Also think about adding a nice sticker to the back.
A sinful treat that is so very easy to create. Slice strawberry in half and dip all cut sides in sugar. This will prevent early spoiling of the strawberry. Place cut sides of each strawberry down so that it creates a heart shape. Push a toothpick through the sides to give you a solid heart form that won’t move. Melt chocolate chip (of your favorite type) in a slow cooker on low. Use tongs and dip the entire strawberry into the chocolate. Place on wax paper to harden. Then drizzle colored icing or a different type of chocolate across and immediately sprinkle sugar or colored sugar or sprinkles or edible glitter on top. Tap off excess. Enjoy!
What a great pic of two piggies in a great heart shaped wreath. Just had to share with the readers!
What a cleaver idea for a Valentines Day treat bag! The design is straight forward and can easily be hand drawn and cutout. Maybe for an adult treat this top card could just be wrapped around a banana or a bunch of bananas. The candies used were banana shapes sorted from Runts candies.
