It was requested by school that Valentine's not be candy or food. To the drawing board we went this past weekend to come up with non-edible Valentine's. The girls decided to make their own crayons. What an adventure this turned out to be. Nearly 200 crayons required unwrapping and broken into smaller pieces. We then filled hear shaped silicon molds and melted them in the oven. This process was repeated until we have ~50 heart crayons. In addition they made smaller crown and heart crayons to add to the bigger ones.
So many colors!
While the girls and I were busy making crayons, John and Micah created his Matchbox car Valentine's. In the lot was one motorcycle which he coveted hoping he had extras left over to keep for himself.
Our finished crayons. I loved so many of the color combinations the girls came up with.
Making Valentine's can be exhausting. We needed a break!
This was Micah's favorite crayon as it reminded him of camouflage.
School Valentine's are completed! We then discovered that several students in each class ignored the no food/treat request and handed out candy. Nice to see some things never change.
We the finished celebrating with a Valentine themed dinner thanks to John's creative side. The finishing piece was individual cake pops. Yummy!
