Valentine’s Day iPod Treats

Now that Connor is in preschool, I had to make up Valentine’s Day class treats for two sets of classes.  I decided to just do something simple for the preschool treats and had a little more fun making these Valentine’s day ipod treats for Matthew’s class.

I used the printables from this post on Spoonful and raided my scrapbook paper stash for the rest of the supplies.  And, of course, we had to do a boy and girl version!

Supplies

• box of candy {we ended up using a box of Smarties – the Canadian kind!}
• Reese’s Mini Peanut Butter cups {the little ones that are individually wrapped}
• String
• Aluminum foil {This works best if you use a 4 inch circle.  If you do not have a circle cutter, you can just cut squares slightly smaller than 4 inches and trim as you wrap}
• Double sided tape
• Tape
• Scrapbook paper
• printable from Spoonful

• Tape both ends of a piece of string to the top a peanut butter cup.  Tie one end of the other piece of string to the middle of your first piece.  Tape the loose end to the candy box.
• Wrap each peanut butter cup in aluminum foil.
• Trim your scrapbook paper so that it will wrap around your candy box with about 1 1/2 cm overlapping.  Score the edges. {If you are making up a bunch of ipods, do good measurements for the first one and use that as your template}.  Wrap tightly and secure with double sided tape.
• Download and cut out the printables.  Attach with glue.  {I also used a black ink pad to ink the edges to give it some extra definition}

Here are the rest of the Valentine’s Day goodies that I made up this year…


Pencils from a Rolo pack and Hershey’s kiss for Connor’s preschool teachers.

Treats for Connor’s class.

And a few more fun treats!  The goodie box for Matthew’s teacher can be found HERE and the little tin in the front is a notepad and magnet set for Matthew’s EA.

I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentine’s Day!  Hugs to all!
