TREATS :: Easy Kids Valentines Treats

no bake treats, classroom party treats, no bake school treats for valentines


Today I am sharing a last minute treat idea that you can use for your kids on Valentines Day or do what I have done, and use as a super easy no bake treat to take in to your kids classroom party at school because you run out of time to bake. Are you with me on this? Anyone ever been in this situation?

As much as I LOVE to bake, sometimes it's just not feasible to fit in your schedule but that doesn't mean that your treats have to be lame. Nope. I will share how easy it is to make them rock and the kids will love them too.

Grab the 'classics' at the store that are already pre-made. You know the ones . . . those that we don't allow our kids to eat all of the time because it's too high in sugar but was a major food group for us growing up. Yup, total kettle moment there but we are striving to feed our kids better right? ;)

So anything in the 'Little Debbie' food group works for this or grab some pre-made brownies, cupcakes or cookies from the bakery or if you can still find some Hostess items in your grocery, those are my personal "go-to's", when I need a no bake item quick and to make super cute!

Grab some fun drinking straws or these dipping sticks, all of which can be found at your fave craft store, and attach a fun graphic to the end, like a Valentines Day topper from my shop, or something else that you have or can come up with. Just tape it on the stick and insert in the no bake treat and display in a fun way and your 'awesome momma' status is still in check. ;)

I hope this has helped you realize that not everything has to be made from scratch and to work with the time and resources you have, as it still can be fun and fab! 

What no bake items have you used for a kids party? What is your snack of choice? Let me know and share with me below . . .

DIY lollipop valentines, kids valentines, classroom valentines, silly hearts
   
Valentines Day is almost here and I have been sharing with you a few different IDEAS you can use for last minute kids Valentines ideas that they can pass out in their classrooms or to their friends! 
Today I am sharing a couple variations on Lollipop Valentines that your kids can use to hand out in the class. I am sure you have seen most of these but it's always good to have options! =)

silly heart tags for lollipops, classroom valentines, kids valentines


We can keep it simple with these 2 alternate ideas to paper valentines. 

Grab some lollipops from your favorite store, attach these Silly Heart toppers from my shop to them and then simply have them write their message on the back & it "stands out" a little more with their friends! =) DONE!
Just tape or glue stick the lollipop to back of topper & attach ribbon.

OR cut a slit in top & bottom of party topper & insert lollipop.

Are you feeling just a little more creative? Or just need a craft idea for the classroom parties at school for your kid? How about this one - Valentines Lollipop flower!

flower lollipop valentines, kids valentines craft idea, school party craft


steps to creating this: 
1. cut 4" x 11 strip of pattern paper 
2. fold in half lengthwise with the pattern side in 
3. fold vertically in half 
4. fold vertically in 1/2 again 
5. unfold & draw 1/2 of a heart on each fold of the 4 squares that were created when folded 
6. cut out the heart patterns 
7. stack all 4 hearts on top of each other & take hole punch & punch a hole about 1/4" up from bottom 
8. place hearts on top of each other, lining up the hole & adhere a little glue to keep in place

** you can get the paper pack pictured here in my shop

 ** few tips to making this work - do NOT make the heart pattern 'fat' - draw the sides of the heart straight otherwise when you stack them, it will overlap too much & not look like a flower in the end. Also you can have your kids write a message on the back & give out instead of a paper valentine.
{The tags I used to attach to the lollipops AND the paper I used to make the lollipop flowers came from the 'Silly Hearts' KIDS Valentines collection that is on SALE in the shop right now!}

Valentines Photo Props

Hello there!

 There is just something about photo props that I can NEVER get tired of. They are fun, versatile and can be used time & time again. And who's with me on this one . . .DO you or DO you not, feel silly & just like a kid when posing with them? Personally I LOVE getting to act like a big kid ANY chance I get!

There are LOTS of moms out there right now trying to figure out what to do for their kids classroom parties coming up here soon for Valentines Day. Well last year I was wanting to do something different myself, so I took in these Valentines Day photo booth props, brought my camera & the kids LOVED it. They posed, they giggled - it was a TOTAL HIT! I later sent all the parents, that asked, their kids pic!
