It seems crazy that Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching. Heck, it was just Christmas! I have a love-hate relationship with Valentine’s Day. I love doing things with my kids and making crafts and things like that. But the adult part of Valentine’s Day kind of makes me want to barf. I know. I’m sorry to all you Valentine’s Day, mushy love kind of people out there. Being single for the last 6 years has skewed my opinion a little =o)
But regardless of my thoughts on the holiday, we love to make little treats for friends, class mates and teachers! This is a very easy and fun craft to make. I found this one last year on Disney’s Family Fun site (I’m pretty sure.) It’s not on there this year so I apologize if this is incorrect!
You will need:
* wooden skewers
* packs of gum (the stick kind works best)
* heart gummies
* red streamer paper
Skewer a pack of gum with the wooden skewer. Stick a heart gummy on one end and on the other end, glue the streamer paper and cut into strips. Easy, right?
And you have Valentine Cupid Arrows!
I’m linking to the parties on my sidebar.
Love your idea in a mushy kind of way!
So fun! My boys would totallt use the skewers as weapons though! Lol
