Happy Valentine's Day!

My six year old daughter made this Lego heart for me on Valentine's Day many years ago!  Still have it and love it!

Happy Valentine's Day!  So many ways to show your love for your family, today and every day.
 Here is a super quick activity for you to do with your kids.  Let them be creative and have fun! 

 

Needed:
1 package pretzel rods
Candy Melts, in whatever colors you want
Various sprinkles

Melt Candy Melts in microwave or in top of double boiler until completely melted.  Be sure NO water EVER touches the melted chocolate.  It will cause the chocolate to seize.

Dip pretzel rods in the melted Candy Melts, sprinkle with sprinkles (that sounds odd) and let cool on a sheet of wax paper.

With leftover candy melts, put melted chocolate in heavy duty freezer bag, cut off a tiny corner of the bag, squeeze candy down to that corner and let the kids make designs on wax paper. They harden quickly and the kids can decorate cookies, cupcakes, even a bowl of oatmeal with them!
