Valentine's Day

It is so easy in the winter months to find 'special' holidays to celebrate with young kids! Most of the time, the celebrations turn out to be nothing more than a new drawing, simple and cheap decorations, and maybe some kind of treat.

This year, the boys and I made suncatchers for our windows from shredded crayons and wax paper.

Very simple and very free: the best kind of craft!

The boys also did some crafts at daycare for Valentine's day, making special keepsakes for their Mama!

And what holiday would be complete without cupcakes with pink frosting? 

Cupcakes are our new favorite baked item. 

Next up: St. Patrick's Day in March! What are your ideas for easy, fast games or activities for young children on that day?
