Well preparing for my daughters Valentine's Day party for school was one project after the other. My 5 year old had a blast doing all the craft projects I had in store for us. Her class had their party today and besides making Hershey Kisses Rings and her writing her name on every Valentines card, which I have to brag a little, okay a lot, she did a great job, considering her name has 8, yes eight letters in it. And she has no problem spelling it out and writing it too. She amazes me all the time. And a little more bragging she is reading three and four letter words already how cool is that. Oh and my 15 month old was watching us and when it came to writing she got her a color and a piece of paper and started doodling. How funny and amazing is that. My children are totally aware and knowledgeable of what is going on an I am so amazed by it.
Okay enough bragging, back to the reason I am posting this on my blog. Which is about our neat craft project we had fun doing together. After all the card signing she did we made home made Red Heart Suckers in the flavor of vanilla cream, YUMMM!
I bought heart shaped molds from Hobby Lobby, my favorite store, and candy chips. We melted the candy chips in a microwaveable bowl in the microwave heating at 30 second increments and stirring. After a few times the candy melts smoothly. Then we poured the melted candy into the molds and placing a stick into each heart shaped candy mold. We tapped the mold tray several times to release any air bubbles. Then laid them flat in the fridge for 15 minutes. After that they just pop right out. Wha Lah, you have home made suckers for all to enjoy. And yes, we couldn't resist, we tried one and they were yummy.
Now I had to make something personalized for her Teachers. Since that is my specialty, making personalized gifts. So I asked my daughter what she like about each teacher. After making a list of what she liked about them I put together a very cool framed word art for each of them. Describing what my daughter thought about them. After framing each of them I think they turned out pretty neat. If you are wondering what the white area is on the photograph is, I whited out the school name for safety reasons.
