Valentine Fortune Cookies DIY

Valentine Fortune Cookies DIY 

Kim and I saw something like this on Pinterest but they were very complicated so we decided we needed to find an easier and better way. Kim with her smarts came up with a very clever and easy plan. We made nine of them in less than 20 minutes and had a lot of fun coming up with the fortunes! The hardest part of it was coming up with the fun fortunes but lucky for you we created a list for the different people in your life. Enjoy!

Items Needed:

* most of these items can be found at your local craft store

• An assortment of foam circles- you can buy pre-cut circles or cut your own from a sheet of foam
• Small glue dots
• Candy (kisses or hugs work great) or money to put inside
• Paper cut into strips

Simple Directions  

1. Fold the circle in half.   (It will look like a taco shell) 
2. Then you push the closed side of the circle in the middle. (It will instantly take the shape of a fortune cookie.)
3. Place a small glue dot where the two sides meet. Make sure it's not to far back or you will make the cookie stay open.
4. Stuff some yummy candy in the cookie. Go with chocolate...yummmm!
5.  Write or type out some fortunes. (see the list below)
6. Fold the paper in half and shove it in the cookie.  
7. Hand to your favorite person.

Mad Libs Valentine Cards

Mad Libs Valentine Cards

Kim and I were talking about making our students Valentines cards this year and Kim remembered an easy creative idea she had seen in last years Family Fun magazine. We took a look at it and decided that we could improve on it a little. Kim suggested adding a pencil because her students ALWAYS need one. So we went to the local craft store and bought enough stuff for 60 students and it was all under $20,  a perfect price for two teachers!

Materials

• Special dollar bin pencils
• Mad Libs
• Heart punch outs
• Cute String
• Red, pink, and white doilies

Steps

• Cut apart the Mad Libs.
• Fold the Mad Lib so you only have 1 inch not doubled up. 
• Place the pencil at the bottom and roll tightly.
• Place the doily on the outside of the Mad Libs and roll up.
• Put a very small piece of tape to hold it all together.

• Next write a message on the heart. Examples: MAD about you! You have MAD skills!
•  Punch a hole in the corner of your heart and tie a string around the pencil.  

 And, Voila! You have easy and practical Valentines to hand out to your students!

Allon-sy!
