Valentine's Day for us has always been more of a holiday for the kids. I get rather annoyed that restaurants have a double waiting time and flowers are always a bit pricier JUST to take advantage of men who feel they need to "deliver." I am quite satisfied with the way my hubby "delivers" the rest of the year, and that is why you will see us buying more glue and glitter in the days before, rather than roses and chocolates.
Sticking to that belief, we found ourselves at Hob Lob, purchasing felt to create fun fortune cookies! These are incredibly easy to make, and my 10-year-old did them all on her own.
First, you will want to cut out some medium-sized circles from felt. In the middle of your circles, glue a piece of pipe cleaner, like so:
You can type out sayings or fortunes in some cutesy font, but I wanted my daughter to practice her writing and spelling. (See... ANYTHING can turn into a lesson. haha)
Some of hers were cute and lovely, while others were.... well....
Yeah.
Next we placed our folded fortunes, along with small, wrapped chocolates into our cookies and folded them up like a taco. A bit of glue on the sides and top of the cookie held everything in place, but left enough room for someone to easily pull out their treats.
