It's almost Valentine's Day, and we have a lot of Valentine's Day crafts and recipe posts coming up. We were snowed in from church yesterday, and Tert, Filia and I had a lot of fun making these. They are essentially just melted Olafs, with a cute tag that says: 'Valentine, You're Worth Melting For!'
Supplies: You'll need some jumbo marshmallows, regular marshmallows, mini marshmallows, pretzel sticks, mini chocolate chips, candy corn (regular or Valentine's Day candy corn), to/from tags, a hole punch, twist ties, markers, treat bags or ziplock bags, red ribbon, and scissors.
Click here to print out these to/from labels. Cut out the labels and hole punch them.
I didn't have any treat bags, so we just cut off the top of a ziplock bag.
First, slice a jumbo marshmallow in half lengthwise. This will be the base of the snowman. Place it inside your bag.
Next cut a tiny bit of marshmallow off the front of a regular sized marshmallow. This leaves a sticky area where you can push on two mini chocolate chips for buttons.
Cut the regular marshmallow in half. The half with the chocolate is the body. The other half is the head. Your bag should look something like the top right picture.
Put a candycorn, two mini marshmallows, and a pretzel stick snapped in half in the bag. Put a twist-tie on the top of the bag. Tie a ribbon onto it and add a tag.
Little Lux had his first marshmallow. He loved it, but he had trouble fitting it into his mouth :)
I hope you enjoyed this valentine tutorial. Stay tuned for more Valentine's Day posts this week...
