Valentine's Day
Crafty Treats, Party Ideas, PDF and SVG Files, Gnomes, Conversation Hearts, Games and Treats, Love Bugs, Games, Printables and More, You'll LOVE it !
Plastic Eyes, Pom Poms, Chenille Stems (Pipe Cleaners) and other crafty items can be found at the dollar store and can be added to almost any treat. One of my favorites are these Glittered Hearts. More then just table confetti, with a little imagination these have unlimited uses.
Add some Curling Ribbon for hair, Eyes, Pompom nose and some pipe cleaners with glittered hearts to a Tootsie Roll Bank for a Fun Unique Valentine.
Add Faces to Jello cups turned upside down to make these fun Valentine Creatures
Robot Valentine
Cover a juice box with aluminum foil and glue a Jello cup to the top, decorate with pipe cleaners, eyes, glitter hearts and candies.
I tied criss-crossed suckers together with a pipe cleaner and tied both them and a pipe cleaner antennae to the center of a bag of candy, then added the eyes for this butterfly
This little guy is easy to make. Pom Poms, Pipe Cleaner, Eyes and Glitter Hearts. Whether you glue him to a piece of candy or set several around to accent your serving dishes, he'll bring the FUN.
Glue Glitter Hearts around a Tootsie Pop and tie with curling ribbon for a cute flower that could be a treat by itself. Or place several in a small vase for a centerpiece that "Pops".

Puzzle Cookies
Use the cookie cutter to notch out other cookies before you bake them so they will interlock.Separate them while baking, so they don't bake together.
Use a toothpick or knife to swirl your icing into a marbled pattern
I Cereal-Sly Love You
Cute for a Special Treat, Just Because or Valentine's Day. I did this in Design Space with text, so it can be personalized. Those without a Cricut did you know you can use a Sharpie Marker to write or draw on a ceramic Dollar Store Mug, Plate or Bowl. When your finished bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees. You may see a difference in color for colored markers. Not dishwasher safe.
Crafts
I found these Microfiber Screen Cleaners at Dollar Tree. They are kind of like a mitten without the thumb. I simply stuffed them with polyfill and glued a felt circle on the bottom to close it up. Simple, Easy, 5 minute puppy dog, The chalkboard heart is also a DT find. I used the Cricut for the letters but a paint pen would work too.
Click on 1st picture for the tutorial for the base.
Valentines Monsters
These Valentines Monsters are made from prescription bottles, the tutorial is based on the prescription bottle HOWEVER they can be made from ANY bottle or container. Use longer yarn and more bundles and cover a Tootsie Roll Bank or one of those M&M Candy Tubes. Turn them upside down and leave the bottom uncovered so you can still get to the candy.
The tutorial is also just for the base, you can decorate them anyway you want. Pom poms, pipe cleaners, felt, googley eyes whatever you have around the house.
Yarn Puppy Dog is a great Valentines Gift or Decoration. Step by Step Instructions are on Our Animals Page

Cereal Boxes
I covered a cereal box with red paper and added some black squares to make the building. Printed and Cut Out the Spiderman Clipart and glued it on. I used white yarn for the webbing but it probably would look better with the fake webbing you can get at Halloween
Spiderman
It doesn't get easier then this. Simply wrap/cover a cereal box with paper (ie Wrapping Paper, Construction Paper, whatever you have on hand) Cut a slot in the box for a place to drop the cards. Print off one of the PDF Files and glue it on.
Pop Bottles
I cut the spout off a 2 liter pop bottle and painted it white, then added some felt to make this BEARY cute Valentine Holder. I did use popsicle sticks in the back to help support the bear. These can be painted brown to conceal them.
Cut a hole in the back of any decorated pop bottle to hold your Valentines. More Ideas on the Pop Bottle Fun Page
Conversation Hearts Games and Ideas
Brach's Tiny Conversation Heart Bingo
I've noticed there are a lot of Printable Bingo Games available but most are old and need the old Sweethearts to play. I've made up this new one (2020) that uses the Brach's Candies. You will Need the Tiny Conversation Hearts as both Bingo Markers and for the Caller to use. Determine before play whether the caller will call both sides or just the first side he sees, Brach's Candies are printed on both sides.
My FREE PDF File includes 8 Cards and a page of Blank cards you can fill in what you want.
The Necco Company, had been producing the "Sweethearts", we all grew up with, since 1901. In 2018 the Necco company declared bankruptcy and sold off their candy brands. The rights to "Sweethearts" was purchased by the Spangler Company that same year. Spangler could not get production set up before Valentine's Day of 2019 but promised these childhood treats would return in 2020 supposedly with new sayings. 2020 I have not found any of these available whether in stores or online.
Brach's has been making a similar product for years. The hearts are embossed with the sayings on both sides rather then printed like our old favorites. Although I find the Brach's flavors a little stronger and not as chalky as the original "Sweethearts",
It's just not the same.Apparently for me Nostalgic Chalky beats Edible.
Heart and Spoon Relay Race
Place two bowls of Conversation Hearts on one side of the room and two empty bowls at the other.
Divide your players into teams.
Each player picks up as many hearts as they can with a spoon and rushes to put them in their teams empty bowl. If they drop any, they can continue to drop off what remains on the spoon BUT they have to go back and pick up whatever they dropped with the spoon and add those to the bowl. Team who empties one bowl into the other first wins.
Fill a Vase with Hearts and add some silk flowers for an easy centerpiece.
Stacking Hearts
Each player tries to stack as many Conversation Hearts as they can within a given time period.
To add more of a challenge have them use chopsticks
Glue Glitter Hearts and Pipe Cleaners to a Conversation Heart. Wrap the bottom of the stem in aluminum foil to insert it into a cupcake. Make sure to actually glue the foil to the stem so when you pull the flower out the foil doesn't stay in the cupcake.

Party Ideas
Royal Icing Lace
Royal Icing is the icing that gets hard once it sits. The Happy Birthday Candies you buy at the store to decorate cakes are made from a type of royal icing.
It's used a lot for decorating cookies. that way they are stackable.
It's basically icing with meringue powder added to make it set. I haven't found a favorite recipe for it but I will post as soon as I do. It's fun to play with.
Printables
A rolled paper napkin by itself is kind of boring, but place several in a cup and you have a paper rose arrangement that is both decorative and useful.
Roses and Kisses
A Silk Rose Bush, A Glass Vase and some Hershey's Kisses make a great centerpiece. I added Aluminum Foil Tuffs and some silver Ting Ting (Sticks) to bring the silver through the whole arrangement
