Easy to do toddler Valentine!

Doing crafts with my little girl is the best! I'm sure when my son gets a little bigger he will join right in there with us. This year we did her first "valentine's". We are doing something special for aunt and uncle and the grandparents which I will share once they are done (haven't quite finished those yet). But first, take a look at the cutest little valentine bags ever, and they are cheap to make too!

Looking for ideas I found the "banana's over you" theme for valentines stuff, and who doesn't love banana runts? So, this is what we came up with. Also, another great thing for toddlers, STICKERS, they love stickers, or at least mine does. So, of course, this includes stickers!

We made 4 valentines this year, this is what we purchased for the 4.

And everything was purchased at Hobby Lobby, of course! (except the candy)

What you will need: (Forgot to keep the receipt so I'll guess on price to what I can remember)

-Small jewelry storage zip lock (large pack is approx. 2.99)

-Small letter stickers (I purchased 2 pkgs at 50% off 1.99)

-Monkey stickers about 2 inches or smaller (1pkg 1.49)

-Large Card stock paper in preferred colour (2 sheets, .50 each)

-Skinny ribbon in preferred colour (1.99 1 roll)

-Hole punch (can be purchased for 5.00 or under I think)

-Runts (and other candy if you want extra, 3-4.00)

 

Cut the card stock in strips about 3x6, fold in half.

Then, is is where my Annabelle came in, STICKER TIME!

 
 

Take the strips of card stock and arrange the letter stickers to make "Bananas over you" and place the monkey sticker on as well.

  

(excuse the mess on the table, we were in the middle of the grandparents valentines too)

Cut strips of ribbon about 8 inches long. 

Place folded card stock over bag zipper and punch holes thru bag and paper together. Once you add the candy to the bag (we chose to do runts for the banana theme and a twix for chocolate too, except one bag which is for a younger baby we just put a few banana's and then some m&m's and 3 musketeers for a softer candy he could eat) place the paper over the bag and pull ribbon thru holes and tie in a bow.

 

Now look how adorable? Annabelle LOVED to pick out which monkey each one should get and help put them on.

 

Hoping you all enjoy this idea and enjoy making valentines with your sweet little one as well. Keep a look out and I'll have the grandparents valentines up on the blog soon!

HAPPY VALENTINES TO YOU AND YOURS!
