Heart Prints

This is a fun and easy craft for kids of all ages and all you need are just a few supplies! Great to fold up for Valentine's Cards for family and friends, teachers, or Mom or Dad!

What you need:
Toilet Paper Rolls or Paper Towel Rolls
Acrylic Paint
Paper Plate
Sheets of Card stock paper
 
 
 
Take your toilet paper roll and fold down in the middle to make the heart shape and tape in place! Just like the picture below!
 

Let the kids dip the end in paint and then press it like a stamp onto their sheet of paper!
They will have a great time using different colors too!
 
For the dots on mine I gave the kids a pencil with an eraser and they dipped the eraser in the paint and then made the dots on their paper!
 
So cute, so easy and acrylic paint is WATER SOLUBLE!!

Cheesecake Popsicles

Another frozen snack that you will definitely enjoy!
 
 
Cheesecake Popsicles Ingredients:
(8) 5-ounce Dixie Cups popsicle sticks
8 sheets graham crackers, crushed
2 tablespoons butter, melted
2 (small) packages cheesecake instant pudding mix 4
 cups milk sliced strawberries and blueberries
 
Instructions:
Crush your graham crackers into small pieces, using a food processor, blender, rolling pin--whatever you've got! Stir in melted butter to combine. Combine pudding mix and milk, whisking together until smooth. Add a small layer (a spoonful or so) of pudding mix to the bottom of your cups. Next, add a layer of your graham cracker "crust" (again, about a spoonful). On top of your graham cracker crumbs, layer in a few sliced berries. Fill cups up the rest of the way with the remaining pudding mix. Insert popsicle sticks and freeze until set.

Frozen Yogurt Bites

My kids love a frozen treat and this one will not disappoint.

All you need are a few flavors of your favorite yogurt. I use Kroger brand and my kids love every flavor.

You will need a few zip lock bags and some scissors along with a cookie sheet lined with foil.

Just fill the ziplock with yogurt and snip one of the bottom sides off a little.

Squeeze drops onto the foil lined cookie sheet and then take to the freezer to freeze...obviously!



They are nice and hard in about 2-4 hours and will pop right off the foil. Store in an air tight container or freezer bag. Serve frozen!

I have a deep freeze to use this can be modified to work in a standard freezer as well!

They are cold, yummy and healthy!
