‘Wild About You’ Valentines

Turn an inexpensive package of Animal Crackers into a cute Valentine’s Day Card perfect for any classroom!  Nolan picked this idea out and was totally excited because it wasn’t ‘girly’.

Pin HERE for later!

What you need:

  • Animal Cracker Pouches (if your school or facility does not require sealed packages, use a bulk container and fill favor bags with the same note, to cut the cost, if desired)
  • Printed off cards with ‘Valentine, I am WILD About You’ typed
  • Stickers and construction paper if desired.

Make them:

  • Lets be honest, there isn’t a lot to these!  Create Word document with Valentine, I am WILD About You.  Add some clipart with animals.  Print the document.
  • Cut the cards to size.  Paste onto construction paper if desired.
  • Add a few stickers and sign the cards
  • Now, after messing around, I decide to use double sided tape to attach the card onto the back of the crackers. I show in the photo, the crackers inserted into a favor bag.  I wasn’t thrilled with how they looked in the small bags I had, but with a larger bag, it would work perfect!
  • This was super easy and Nolan cut the cards out, glued them on the construction paper and stuck them onto the back of the crackers.  He totally owned this project and was incredibly proud of his work.

These Valentine’s Day cards made me so happy! They take SECONDS to make, find the supplies at the dollar store, and require they ZERO crafting skill!

📌 Pin HERE for later!

What you need:

  • Pop Rocks Candy Pouches ** (I found these at Dollar Tree)
  • Print out with “Valentine, you make my Heart POP!”
  • Stickers and construction paper if desired
  • Double Sided Tape or Tape Dots

Make These:

  • Prepare and print a document with Valentine, you make my Heart POP.  Add a cute border and some free clipart to decorate it however you like
  • Cut the cards apart
  • Sign and decorate notes with stickers as desired
  • Using double sided tape or tape dots, adhere the cards to the back of the pop rocks

 

** As alternative POP ideas:

Instead of the Pop Rocks, use a microwave popcorn pouch (Pop Secret Popcorn, Movie Theater Butter, 3 oz Microwave Bags, 30 Count) or single serve bags of popcorn (Smartfood White Cheddar Flavored Popcorn 40 count) , PopTarts (Kellogg’s Pop-Tarts Frosted Strawberry Toaster Pastries – Fun Breakfast for Kids, Family Pack – 32 Count), Ring Pops, or Blow Pops.

Cherry Chip Cookies

January 18, 2020 By Leah Leave a Comment

 

Does anyone else have a particular recipe they remember from their childhood?  Something you can picture clear as day and practically taste if you close your eyes?  These cookies are THAT item.  My grandma made them all the time!  I can even see them sitting on the cookie plate in her kitchen ready to enjoy with a cup of coffee!  We always had ‘coffee breaks’ whenever we visited.  Of course ours was mostly milk with a drop of coffee, but we thought it was so grown up!

I recently stumbled on a bag of the Cherry Chips and all those great childhood memories came right back!  The sweet bright red chips, crispy bits of corn flakes, mild almond flavoring, and tender butter shortbread – I HAD to make these cookies!

After searching through my Grandma’s recipe cards and cookbooks, the Cherry Chip Cookie recipe was no where to be found! Luckily, a quick text message to my mom turned up the details on this childhood favorite!

Check out my mom’s recipe ‘card’ below! You know it is as good one when the paper is THAT stained and there are not even directions!!  I forgot how cute they turn out! Little drops of sweet butter cookies, dotted with red chips – these would be PERFECT for Valentine’s Day!

What you need:

1 c. butter (no substitutions) – room temperature
1 egg yolk
1 t. almond extract
1/2 c. white sugar
3/4 c. corn flakes (crushed)
2 1/4 c. flour
pinch of salt
1 c. cherry chips (I found at Woodmans, but have seen them in the baking section of large grocery stores)

Make them:

  1. Cream butter & sugar until fluffy
  2. Stir in egg yolk and almond extract
  3. Add flour, corn flakes, and salt and mix just until combined.
  4. Fold in Cherry Chips
  5. This is a dry dough, but easily forms into balls for baking
  6. Roll into tablespoon size balls and flatten slightly with a fork.
  7. Bake at 350° for 10 – 12 minutes until just slightly browned on the edges
  8. Rest on baking sheet for 2 minutes and move to a cooling rack
