3 Kits for Kids to Spark Creativity

Making Candy
Crafting Cards
Planting Flowers

Instead of buying candy, try making your own.

1- Make Delicious Candy

Valentine’s Day seems to involved more candy than Halloween! In my classroom, kids bring in bags of suckers and mini chocolates to give their friends. So, instead of buy candy for your child this year, why not help them create their own supply of sugar. Just try not to eat it all in one sitting!

Instead of buying cards, craft your own personalized card.

2- Create Custom Cards

Kids who enjoy paper and drawing activities will making personalized Valentine’s Day Cards for friends, family and neighbors! There are so many ways to express love through a card. Plus, it’s a great opportunity for kids to practice writing and address letters to people.

Instead of purchasing flowers, try planting your own garden.

3- Plant Beautiful Flowers

Personally, I love fresh flowers! However, they are often expensive around this specific holiday and then they die within the week. Instead, encourage a love of nature with a small gardening kit. Flowers are a perfect option for Valentine’s Day, but herbs or vegetables would be great, too!
