Valentines Day
Though this holiday doesn't earn any of us the day off, Valentine's Day is a cute and fun holiday to celebrate with loves, friends, and kids alike.
This blog post includes a fun themed Valentine's dinner and a dessert food craft.
HEART SHAPED PIZZA
Everyone loves a make your own pizza night. Instead of using the par-baked pizza crusts from the dry goods section, grab a raw dough from the refrigerator section. If you have a recipe from scratch, even better!
Cut dough into individual pizzas and let the little hands shape them into hearts or pre-shape them yourself.
Set up stations using white cheese and red sauce and let each person decorate their own heart. If kids are old enough, provide clean scissors and encourage them to make hearts out of their pepperonis as well!
OREO LOLLIPOPS
While the pizzas bake, use cake pop sticks between a double stuffed Oreo to make a sucker.
Melt pink, red, and white colored chocolate pieces from Walmart, Micheals, or Hobby lobby. If not available, carefully color melted white chocolate.
Give each person a few Oreo suckers and let them decorate to their hearts content. Purchase small themed candies, sprinkles, and edible beads to enhance the experience.
For more designs, place a sandwich bag in a cup with the top around the edges of the cup. Spoon in some melted chocolate, seal the bag, then make a tiny cut in one corner. This can now be used to make letters and designs on each Oreo.
To dry the Oreos, poke small holes in the bottom of a carboard box or a thick piece of foam and insert sticks until chocolate has hardened.
