I'm not a huge fan of sending candy loaded Valentines to school with my boys. So I always try to find creative non-candy ideas to send them to school with so that they do not add to the inevitable sugar rush. They always come home with so much candy after every school party, especially Halloween & Valentines. This year Dylan decided he liked the parachuting men idea the most. I picked up a couple baggies of them from the local party store & printed off some bag toppers....and voila!
Super easy, cute & best part about it...Dylan gets to help in it! It's not one of the "typical" Pinterest Valentine projects that kids don't get to help out in & mom does all the work.
He loaded up the bags, helped fold the toppers & attached!
I think he enjoyed signing his name on the backs of them the most. :)
Blake has been on a sunglasses kick lately so I figured what a better gift than that!? I grabbed a bag of cheap ones from the same party store, threw them in the baggies (Blake's still a little young to help out, so Dylan was happy to step up to the plate & do it for him). I designed the toppers for the bags & printed them out.
Dylan had to help sign Blake's name to the backs of them as well. :)
All-in-all...super easy, fun & most importantly, one less piece of candy for everyone tomorrow!
Happy Valentine's Day!!
