When I saw a video of this cute Valentine’s Day doily envelope, I knew right away it would be a craft for the preschool classroom at my church. Instead of adding a gift card, I’m placing two snack-size candies inside. I’ll add a memory verse to the back and include a scripture card.

Supplies needed:

• 10-inch paper heart doilies
• heart or any type of Valentine stickers
• scotch tape
• snack-size candy
• memory verse/scripture card

Assorted colors — 10-inch doilies

Valentine stickers (I had these on hand).

Fold doily, tape sides

Add two snack-size candies, fold top down and adhere with a Valentine sticker.

ENJOY!

 

I made the Andes Chocolate Mint Cookies for Christmas and since then I’ve had several requests for the recipe. They are delicious for any season. Great with cocoa or coffee on a cold January day and perfect for Valentine’s Day.

If you’re in question about what cookie to bake, try these first.

An easy Christmas tree ornament we made in the preschool classroom at my church.

Merry Christmas!

I have an easy after-Thanksgiving Day Christmas craft for kids. It’s simple with no mess.

While searching online for ornament crafts for the preschool classroom at my church, I found a free template for a cute upside-down candy cane project. I cut out the candy canes from white cardstock, turned them upside down and colored them. Make sure you end with red at the bottom. Since I already have a star punch, I punched out gold stars and added J is for Jesus. I glued the star to the upside-down candy cane and laminated each one before adding the string. If you don’t have a laminating machine, use heavier white cardstock. Note: An adult must do the laminating.

We will soon have a Christmas tree in the preschool classroom at my church and each week until Christmas, I’ll provide an easy ornament for the children to make. For more ideas, check my website often.

Supplies needed:

• candy cane template
• glue (I adhered the string with hot glue, but you can use regular glue)
• white cardstock
• string
• red washable markers
• star punch (optional)
• laminating machine (optional)

This project would be fun to make during the long Thanksgiving weekend.

Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
