In honor of my moms birthday, July 23rd and Pioneer Day, July 24th (celebrated in Utah), we made these cute and easy to make covered wagons. My mom recently told us about how her mom made these as party favors for one of her birthday parties as a child. So I thought it would be fun to have my kids make some.

We’ve started a little early with the whole Easter egg dyeing fun.

Then we made a cute little nest using an idea out of the Family Fun Magazine.

What you’ll need:

* sticks and twigs

* brown paper sack

* glue

* paper plate

Go outside with the kids and collect little sticks, bark, and twigs. Then tear up some pieces of the brown paper sack, crinkle it up, and glue it onto the paper plate. Then glue the sticks and twigs on top of the crinkled up paper sack.

So simple and so fun!!!!

Here’s a fun and delicious Valentine Day dessert idea you can do with your kids. I found this idea in the Family Fun magazine and really enjoyed doing it!

What you’ll need:


*Strawberries
*Wooden skewers (get green ones, or you can use food coloring to dye them green)
*Pink Chocolate Melts Wilton Pink Candy Melts, 14-Ounce
*Fresh Mint

First melt the chocolate (follow directions on the package).

Put the strawberries on the skewer and dip them in the chocolate.

Spray your pan with a nonstick spray and let the strawberries set until chocolate is hardened.

And walah!!!You’ve got yourself a beautiful edible flower arrangement. Yum!

What about you? What are you making for your Valentine Day dessert? Are your children helping out? I would love to hear your Valentine day dessert idea!
