Valentine's Day Countdown for the Kiddo

Gold fish crackers, he loves them.
Nutter-butter cookies. Yummy!
Decidedly a little late on my Valentine's post this year, but not too late for next year! The 14 day countdown to Valentine's Day was a lot of fun for the Little Man. Everyday he came home from school (or woke on the weekends) ready to peak into his heart-shaped bowl to see what treat awaited. I am already imagining the possibilities for next year! And thinking about doing an "adult" version for the hubs (these ideas are at the bottom of this post). Here are a few of the treats we gave him...


Cheetos, the little man's special treat (only once in a while).

A stack of fake money. Great math fun!
Love the Target $1 bins.


This was perfect on Super Bowl Sunday!

The first time he ever ate these, and he's hooked!



My little animal makes life wild!
He had way more fun with glitter glue.
Cheddar flavored Chex Mix.
Apple Jacks cereal.
Teddy grahams (could also use gummy bears).
Now all of this fun with the little man got me thinking. I am putting in al this effort for my only one of the loves of my life. So, I thought about a countdown for the hubs, with fun little gifts to show how much I love him! Visit Valentine Daddy for some inspiration (this list is geared very much towards my own hubby's tastes and favorites).

Other great ideas for the kiddo:
"I am lucky to have you!" (box of Lucky Charms)
"I think you're GRRRRRR-EAT!" (box of Frosted Flakes)
"You're the sweetest boy a-ROUND!" (Oreo cookies, m&m's)
"I want to cover you with KISSES!" (Hershey kisses)
