Silly Band Valentines

Silly Bands:

They're all the rage! Well, at least they are for my 8 year old daughter. When we found some valentines themed ones at Target, I grabbed them and she decided to make homemade Valentines with them. It was one of our snowy day activities.

If you're about make a last minute trip to the store for your kiddo's class party tomorrow, this might be an option for you. Here's how we did it:

1~ Cut strips of paper. We used scrapbook paper and cut them 1.25" wide and the length of the paper, but you could use pretty much any kind you have on hand.

2~ Write a sweet note on one side. My daughter made up fun little sayings to go along with the silly bands which I thought was pretty darn cute. (Doggone it, You're a good friend! Have a HOPPY valentine's day! etc.)

3~ Fold the strip in half, and slip the silly band on.

4~ Pinch the ends together to form a heart. Secure with a staple.

So simple and fun!

I'm about to make some whoopie pies for my little Valentines. I tore out this recipe from a magazine and was going to attempt the real deal, but I decided to go for this easy version. I'll let you know how they turn out!

Happy Valentine's Day to you!
