Super Easy Frog Valentine's Treat Bags for Wild Kids
My blog writing tends to either be 11 months earlier than the holiday or a few days before. This year, I'm squeaking in some Valentine's Day printables! When it came time to put together treats for my youngest son to give his friends, it was a tie between bugs and frogs. Since it's super easy to buy gummy frogs from the grocery store (and we don't have any toy stores in our area), the gummy frogs won the day.
These Valentine's treats are so easy that your child can do it by themselves or with minimal help. Collect a box of "snack size" zip top bags, the printable (from below), a couple bags of gummy frogs, and a stapler. Print the toppers, enough for all the kids you hope to gift. There are 4 cards per page, so you can sneak in a bit of math calculating how many pages you'll need. Cut out all the cards.
On the blank side of the toppers, have your child write their name. Fold the toppers in half and set aside. Next, look on the package of gummy frogs and figure out how many gummies each child can receive to have enough for everyone. We decided on SIX per bag.
Have your kid count out the correct number of frogs into each bag and seal them up. Then, put the topper over the zipper of the bag and staple it in place. Finish the rest of the bags and pass them out to your friends.
Want to stay away from candy? You can use toy frogs instead. If you don't mind spending a bit more on each child, you could even gift a book, like this one on the frog life cycle (yay for metamorphosis). Let me know in the comments which bag topper your child would prefer.
