Well, I plan to do a bunch of fun crafts for with my kiddos for the morning… I’ve put 10 of them together for this fun little round up. We plan to do quite a few of these and I thought they were just too good not to share!

Healthy Valentine Snack Plate for The Kids
What you Need:

I have always included my boys in all our Valentine’s Day activities. I love the idea of being able to complete crafts like these with them. It’s a great way to spend quality time together.
Crafting with the baby in the AM, then I will be making heart shaped pancakes for my youngest son’s class & surprising the older two with lunch at school. I also have a special Valentine’s dinner menu planned. Hoping it turns out good. ;-) lol I love what you’re doing here. It’s so special to spend the time with our little’s and make days like this special. The memories are priceless.
I need to invest in a smaller heart shaped cookie cutter. Mine is HUGE lol! I use it to make heart shaped pancakes but my 3 year old would love heart shaped cheese! Thanks for sharing these ideas!
That is so cute and lovely. My daughter will like it. Need to try that soon.

All these heart-shaped goodies are love. I think they aren’t just for kids. I would most certainly do ’em at home. It would be perfect instead of going out and joining Valentines Day madness.
Valentine’s day is so special at home with lots of fun all around & the snack plate looks really cute & infact a creative snack idea that kids would fall in love so easily. Would love to give it a try.

What fun crafts you have here, I wish my boys would sit and craft with my daughter and I for longer… mater of fact… we’d probably craft from the time we wake til bedtime. We love to craft. I also love how you used pita bread in place of crackers! So many benefits, biggest one for me is less mess. haha
