I ran into the little grocery store that's between our house and my oldest's preschool to pick up supplies. Apparently I should have been more prepared and bought supplies earlier in the week at the big grocery store because the selection of Valentine's Day candy was pretty poor. I had to improvise...
Mini marshmallows, conversation hearts, Teddy Grahams, animal crackers, and Pez. And, just like Cheryl, I hot glued my graham crackers together. Best. Idea. Ever. They were sturdy and worked great!
The girls had a blast and spent the better part of an hour decorating their houses. Every time I asked if they were done or started to clean up, they insisted that they still had room to add another cracker or another piece of candy. We will definitely be doing this again.
Happy Valentine's Day!

What a great idea. My kids would love that. Thank you for sharing.
There is a song by John Mellencamp "little pink houses" (1983) that I grew up with and I am channelling it now... I absolutely love the idea of baking / cooking decorating for every season. Wonderful tradition - happy Valentine's Day Gwen!
Yay for Valentine houses!
I love the kind of craft that keeps them happy and busy for a while. That's the best, eh? And your houses are so fun!
i love these! what a fun activity and way to be creative for your girls. Hope your Valentine's day was wonderful.

Cheryl is one of my favorites. I keep promising myself that once the house craziness is over I'll try a few more of her darling ideas.
