Printable Valentine Mini Mailboxes
It’s officially February! It feels like getting through January is really something to celebrate, so let’s get down to business and dive into Valentine’s Day. This is an easy little activity that uses one of my FREE printables and is absolutely perfect for leaving each other little messages. My favorite Valentine’s dramatic play center is a post office, heavy on the hearts and pink and red colored decor. Decorating and adding these little mailboxes makes it fun for children to deliver mail for each other. I used my phone number and address freebie for the printable mailbox template. This template is editable, so you can also add children’s real addresses…

Valentine Teacher Gift
Can you believe we’ve reached this point in the year?! That’s right, it’s time to figure out a valentine’s day gift for your kids’ teachers. This is one of those holidays that can be so tempting to just phone it in and buy the heart shaped coffee mug, but I’ve got a really fun idea for you instead! I’ve completely fallen into the cult of homemade sourdough, so this year I’m gifting teachers a fresh loaf with some other goodies. Here’s what I’ve got planned (all links are affiliates). Brown paper bread bags – These say “elevated home baker” for sure. Make your gift look like something that comes from…

Celebrate Valentine’s Day with me!
Happy Valentine’s Day! I thought I’d try something a little different today and give you a full picture of what my day looks like. Here’s how I’m celebrating the holiday all day long: We started the morning early because my girl was EXCITED. She’s old enough to remember past Valentine’s day celebrations and she knows that I always have some special gifts for her, and once she woke up there was no holding her back! We use these felt heart envelopes for Valentine gifts – ours are a few years old from the Target Dollar spot, but these are similar and available on Amazon (affiliate link). I love having this…

Valentine Teacher Gift
I’m so loving what I’ve put together for teacher gifts this year – definitely regretting not buying a set for myself! I’ve linked the items that I included below (all are affiliate links). The standout item in this little collection is the chocolate bar notebook. The feature that makes this so special is that it’s chocolate scented and it smells AMAZING! It also has a flexible cover that is a lot of fun. I made some stickers using my Box of Chocolates Valentine clipart, which are always a fun and easy addition. I use my Cricut’s print and cut feature to do this. A fancy pen is a great gift…

EASY Preschool Valentine Boxes
Over the years I’ve tried ALL of the different ways to make valentine boxes in the classroom – from the brown paper bag to over the top crafty cut-outs. There are pros and cons to all of these, so let’s talk through those as we work towards the absolute easiest option if you’re making preschool valentine boxes in the classroom. First, I like to use this as a class activity because families are busy! They don’t always have the time or supplies that they might need, and if I put out supplies for all of the children then they start with a level playing field. Making Valentine boxes also meets…

Valentine’s Day Must Haves!
My love for holidays runs DEEP and when it comes to Valentine’s Day I have no problem talking myself into cute “must haves” because hearts work all year round! These are the things that I’ve been drooling over lately – just in case you need a little inspiration (all are affiliate links). Heart Zip Pouch – I never have enough little pouches, I swear they just disappear. This one is absolutely adorable, and would be perfect for tossing in the little heart caddy that’s coming up lower on the list. I also love that this is waterproof and wipe-able! Heart Pendant Necklace – This is exactly the kind of necklace…
