Valentine’s Day Crafts and Treats

by Life Without Pink on February 11, 2012

Since it’s a snowy Saturday, I decided to hit up my favorite place, Pinterest, for inspiration.

It’s a perfect day to do Valentine’s Day crafts and bake with the kids.

Here are some of my favorite finds!

#5 Heart Paper Pockets filled with love notes or heart treats.

#2 Cake Pops – kids go crazy for this.

#3 Red Velvet Cheesecake Brownies – Oh my!

Those are so cute. I am dying for the red velvet brownie! I am making cards with Chloe today, I hope they come out okay. We have no plan or idea what we are doing!

The handprint cards are my favorite. I might make those for my kids this year and they can make them next year for their grandparents, etc.
