Valentine Craft

After Valentines I always hit up the stores for cheap candy and other items. This week I went to Target and things were 50-70% off. Kevin's favorite holiday candy is the SweetTart Sweethearts. I found some in a package of 8 individual boxes for only $1.40. I also got 2 kitchen towels for $1.50 and party straws for $0.30. Not a big load but I was happy I found Kevin's candy.

Well, turns out when we got home and I opened the candy it wasn't the right candy. :( They were those nasty conversation hearts. I wasn't going to let my $1.40 go to waste and a neighbor suggested using them for a craft so we did. I looked up some ideas on pinterest and ended up coming up with these ideas.

First we did a sorting game. I drew 6 hearts on a piece of paper and wrote colors inside each then had Lillian color each heart. Once they were colored I had her sort each candy heart into the correct heart on the paper.

We also counted how many each color had then I let her eat a few.  Next we glued the heart to a foam frame I had in my craft box. She loves glue but still gets pretty messy with it so I helped some. It was n't much but it was simple and fun and only cost me $1.40!
