I am slightly opposed to Valentines's Day. I don't mind the simple "take time to think on the one's you love" aspect, but the candy filled backpacks drives me crazy!! So, I try every year to do non-candy (and mostly non-edible) valentines for my children to hand out. This year we chose Kool-Aid Play Doh kits.
KK received a similar kit a few years ago at the end of the school year (with a tag that said something along the lines of "Have a Kool summer"). We had a blast making it and it lasted for about 6 months before it dried out (that's much longer than a little piece of candy lasts).
The girls had fun helping me measure the ingredients and tape off the top of the bag (just to be safe). And then they sat and chose which color would go to which person. KL went easy and gave all the boys in her class pink (strawberry Kool-Aid) and all the girls purple (grape Kool-Aid), KK on the other hand chose to get a variety of scents and took the time to specifically choose each color for each person, including rearranging a few to make sure it was just right.
The neat thing about this play doh, the Kool-Aid not only gives it color, but a scent too.
That's all for now,
Jo!
