Such cute stuff!
I showed you these precious little Valentine Bees last week! They spoke directly to my heart! And, I HAD to have them for little Valentine treats for my first graders.
They come in a set of 12 with a mixture of pink and red hearts.
I made simple little cards and slipped them into mini clear ziplock bags.
These are prepped and are ready for Valentine’s Day {weeks in advance!}

I also got these heart cardboard boxes for our classroom Valentine card exchange.
I have made boxes and bags each year and this is my first time in buying a pre-made box. I totally too the easy {but cute!!} way out. I put together 18 of these boxes in probably less than 20 minutes.
I did put a piece of clear packing tape on the bottom of each box for extra support but overall they are a good quality for a classroom card box. And, the size is perfect!

I also thought I would need some bags of some sort for my students to carry home to hold other stuff from our classroom party. I ordered some Christmas bags like these a few years back and when I saw these I immediately wanted these cute heart ones.
They come in a pack of 50 – so depending on my class size I can get at least two years worth of use from these (possibly 3). And you get an assortment of all three designs.
They are a great size 12x17 inches. Big enough to carry home lots of goodies!

These little mini heart stress balls are probably my FAVORITE! They just make my heart happy!
You get an assortment of pink and red. And there are 24 in a pack.
I made this super quick toss money game.
My students will each get 6 hearts to toss in the buckets to earn some money for each shot they make. The kiddo who makes the most money will win some kind of little prize {or maybe just a hug!}

I also ordered these Valentine dart game boards. I don’t have a plan for them yet. Other than just to let my kids play with them!
They come with 4 little velcro balls. I cannot wait to use these! So cute!
I ordered two because I thought I might make some kind of game with two teams.

Love the money game... such a fun way to practice counting money! I would love to see how the kids try to use their 6 chances to "earn" the most money!
ReplyDeleteThe bees and the stress hearts! LOVE them! And the simple money game is genius! :-)

The stress hearts are darling. My kids would love them. One year I gave out mini koosh balls. They were a hit with my 5th graders.
