Valentine's Day Idea for Boys

Since Jacob doesn't go to school yet, I thought it would be fun to host a little play date with some neighbors and their kiddos, to celebrate Valentine's Day together. Plus I love any excuse to drink Sofia in the middle of the day.

In the spirit of the holiday, I decided Jacob has to hand out valentines. That was always my favorite thing about Valentine's Day! However, putting together cute, festive, fun, MASCULINE valentines for boys is kinda tough!

While perusing the Tiny Prints valentines selection this year, I stumbled upon this adorable dinosaur option and instantly knew what I wanted to do.

LOOK at this valentine goodie bag. So cute, huh??!


I made the dino crayons using this silicone mold and pieces of crayons. Unwrap a TON of crayons, like 48. Break them into small pieces and fill up each dinosaur. Place mold on a cookie sheet, and bake on 250 for 10-15 minutes. Let cool. Bam. So easy!

I also included these mini dinosaur coloring books. They are cheap, and honestly- it kinda shows. But they fit perfectly in ziploc bags. So it works for me!

I stapled these adorable valentines to the ziploc bag and boom! That's it! Big thanks to Tiny Prints for helping me pull this whole look together.

What do y'all think?? Wanna come to our party?! ;)
 

I'll be back after Valentine's Day with a full recap! Don't you worry! ;)

    1. Having a boy makes celebrating "girly holidays" kinda challenging, huh??
