I like to think I'm crafty. Not in a professional DIYer sort of way. More like a I was a first grade teacher for 10 years sort of way. So yeah, I'm basically a craft ninja when it comes to Elmer's and construction paper.
Elena's little play group meets tomorrow and we're having a Valentine's Day party for the kiddos. I knew that I wanted to do something that wasn't candy/food related since some of the little ones in our group have food allergies. And really? What almost 2 year old needs candy? It's just more shit for us moms to eat. At least this mom, anyway.
So, I went with the quick and easy route. And relatively cheap, considering I only needed to whip up 6 Valentines.
I bought 6 boxes of crayons, printed up some labels, slapped them on the box, tied a piece of bakery twine {is that even what it's called?} around the box, and added a little cut-out heart embellishment with each kids' name on it. Done and done in less than half an hour. And I think they are cute and practical. Boom.
And if you don't already follow me on Instagram {kcamp07}, here's a pic of the text exchange between Paul and I after I sent him a pic of Elena's first Valentine's. She's a Daddy's girl, for sure.
