THE DOMESTIC DIVA My Healthy Valentine I’m not much of a Valentine’s gal. I believe that we should celebrate life and love every day – not once a year because a card company says so. But, I happen to be raising a few sweet children that insist we shower the classroom with Valentine’s Day treats. Valentine’s gal or not, I love my kids and will do just about anything they ask (as long as they say please). As many of you may know, I have a rather large group of children in my home and that can get very costly when there is always a class party around the crafts for each and every classroom gala. I’ve done lollipops and cards, foam stickers and bubbles, bagged candy, store bought cards, etc. But, this year, I think I have found a real winner. (Thank you Pinterest!) Fruit Valentines. I really think that my kids are going anyone who receives a sweet and delicious piece of fruit will complain. Teachers will surely be thrilled to pass out a healthy treat in the midst of all the candy and card chaos. And, I think you will agree that most parents will welcome the lower-in-sugar treat for their little loves. You could buy one type of fruit or provide a variety. It’s your world. I’ll be checking prices to see which way will be the most practical since I will be sending them to four classrooms. Here are some ideas for conversation tags: You are the apple of my eye. I love you berry much. I’m bananas for you. Orange you glad you’re my Valentine? You can buy sticker paper and print the conversation tags or handwrite your messages on hole-punched cardstock remnants attaching them to the fruit using rubber bands. If you choose to give berries, get the cookie bags in the cake decorating section. They’re the perfect size for a few bites and they come with silver twisty ties. I think you’ll spend less on this than you would on those boxes of conversation hearts – that no one eats. This is a very simple craft that your children can enjoy making with you and they will be so proud to give a gift that they had a hand in making. No matter how Oh, if it be to choose and call thee mine, love, thou art every day my Valentine! -Thomas Hood <strong>OKIE</strong> MAGAZINE www.okiemagazine.com Page 22
