Valentine's Present: For The Couple

I have been wanting to do this for quite some time.  It is a conversation box that contains questions, conversational pieces that allow a couple to learn and discover more about each other.  I loved it then and I loved it now. 

This is a perfect, inexpensive Valentine's Day present that is perfect for every couple!! 

Supplies:

Massive Pickle Jar or Container
Ribbon
More Ribbon
Handwritten Questions or Statements That Allow For Conversation Between Two :)
Hot Glue Gun (I burnt myself pretty good, too!)
And A Little Love....

Happy Valentine's Day

February Sensory Box

Balloons

String and buttons (needle not included)

Art Toys

Pencil

Cookie Cutters 

Homemade Playdough 

Cupcake Liners

Confetti and Hot Pink Rice

Seashells for scooping

I wanted to share our sensory box with you.  I actually was running WAY behind on getting all of its contents together, seeing as its only a few days from Valentine's Day. 

Our sensory boxes usually end up with My Little Ponies, Strawberry Shortcake Miniature Dolls, and other small gadgets that Harmony enjoys playing with.  It promotes fine motor function and coordination, as well as compliments imaginative qualities and artistic means.  I love it!

(Does anybody else end up picking up quite a bit of rice from all areas of YOUR house?.. hehe)

Happy Friday and Enjoy Your Weekend!!

Valentine's Paper Weight

Aren't they pretty?  They're paper weight's that Harmony and I made for Valentine's Day. 

Ingredients and Supplies:

Baby Food Jar

Corn Syrup

Food Coloring

Construction Paper

Mod Podge

Brush

Scrapbook Stuff

Hot Glue Gun

Total Time: 10 Minutes

I so love the fact that I found another great use for those baby food jars (and my husband LOVES to see them go!).  Fill the jar up with corn syrup, have your little one add a few drops of food coloring, and then stir away!  Mod Podge some construction paper (tray a larger lid for size) to cover the baby food jar lid.. and then add some jewels or accessories to spruce it up.  I also used some hot glue to seal the around the edge's of the lid so you can't remove it. 

On the label I wrote, "Your love weighs down my heart."  Super adorable and perfect inexpensive gifts for your loved ones!

Happy Early Valentine's Day!
