Getting pregnant for some can be easy and others can have a difficult time. Sometimes it’s a matter of eating the right foods and treating your body the best way you can. Some women also find that getting pregnant is as easy as tracking their cycles. One way to do that is to download an app on your phone in order to see when you have your period, your usual cycle length and when you are ovulating. If you are not one for either a smartphone or apps, the Menstrual Cycle Calculator site[1], where you can enter how long your period was, when your most fertile period is (so that you can optimally plan when to have sex), and when to anticipate your next period, or take that pregnancy test. Sites like that can be helpful to also get a lot of information regarding what can also affect your body, your cycle and your fertility.
Ready to put your craft pants on? Lets wow all those little ones in your child’s class with some super cute and super healthy Easy Valentine Treats! No need to fret over ingredients and forbidden foods in the classroom. With this simple tutorial, your child will present the most loved Healthy Valentine’s day gifts in town. Now lets dive in on how you can whip up a batch of these Super Cute, Healthy and Easy Valentine Treats for Kids.
This project is very simple. Most items I’m sure you already have at home. To achieve the look of these easy valentine treats you will need the following:
Simple Right?!
Next its time to print the needed text on our card stock so that you can assemble these Minion Valentines. Below is a link to download the exact template I used to create the healthy valentines gifts for this post. Everything you need for your Easy Valentine Treats is in the download. Simply print each sheet on the appropriate colored paper as explained below.
For the Yellow Cardstock, you will want to print your Valentine Text. The yellow sheets will represent the Minion body. Below is an example of what the print out will look like.
Print the Minion eyes on white as well as the Gru logos. As soon as you have printed the correct valentine to children in the class ratio, you’re ready to puzzle together these easy valentine treats.
If your little one is a bit older, they may have the ability to assist you on this step. Cut out each set of Minion eyes or eye and each Gru logo. Set these pieces aside as you will need them soon!
Next you will need to cut each Valentine card to size. I used a simple paper cuter purchased from Walmart. It make slicing projects such as these a breeze. Each yellow sheet will produce 4 cards at 4.25″ x 5.5″.
Next you will need to cut your blue card stock in the same manner as your yellow sheets so that they are sized the same. See below. Be sure not to get too snip happy, you will not need as many blue cards as you have yellow.
Next, you will be creating the Minions overalls. Cut the blue cards into sections. Approximately 1.5″ in height each.
Grab your scissors and nip a small section from the top of one section. Be sure to remove enough space so that your printed text is visible on the Valentine. Check your work by laying the overalls on your Valentine to be sure you have cut enough. See below.
Next, we will be outfitting our little Minions in their snazzy garb. Grab your glue stick and wield it high. Scoop up a few of your pre-cut Gru logos too.
Using your glue stick, secure the Minion overalls to the bottom of the card. Next, glue one Gru logo in the center of the overalls.
Now its time to give that healthy valentines day snack a face! Be sure to have your glue gun warmed up. If you have not used a glue gun before, a word of caution. Its called a hot glue gun for a reason. Be sure to use it carefully and avoid any glue from touching your skin.
Grab a Motts Applesauce out of the packaging and place bottom side up on a hard surface. Snag one of your pre-cut Minion eyes and dab a dot of glue in the center of the eyes and on both left and right sides. Then, carefully place the eyes on the bottom of the applesauce.
Looking good already! Time for the finishing touch. Place a dot of glue to the edge of the Motts applesauce top. The outside edge is the part that will have contact with the card. Therefore, you will want your glue to be around the rim rather than the center of the seal.
Place the Minion eye at the top of your Valentines card and your done! A super cute, healthy Valentine treat that everyone will adore.
My kids really enjoyed these and so did their teachers. Its an easy project with a healthy treat that you can feel good about sending to your child’s school. Well, unless someone is allergic to apples… I hope you enjoyed this and I would love to hear about your cute DIY Valentines too. Share in the comments below!

Wow, it seems like just yesterday you were counting your baby’s fingers and toes. Now
you have a very curious little human running around the house that already has a strong
opinion about everything. Wanting, demanding, pointing, and refusing has turning into
splashing, breaking, singing, and yelling. You will find yourself bribing and bargaining to
avoid that tantrum in the grocery store with the best and doing other things you swore
you would never do.
A good night’s sleep is very important for the proper functioning of our entire body and mind, and if a person has not got an ideal sleep during the wee hours of the day, he is sure to be very irritated at work and will not be able to work efficiently for the entire day.
Your child brings you so much love and joy every single day. It’s your duty as a
parent to provide him a safe space to explore the new world with all of its miracles
and mysteries. Day after day your kid’s curiosity grows and develops, every item
attracts its attention and captivates the interest for longer.
Bay blues and sweet pinks are the norm when it comes to new babies. However, as times change so do our decor tastes. The Modern Day Mom is into those unique stand out patterns and simplistic decor. Yes, we all love the cute ruffles and frilly gowns, but that doesn’t mean we cant beef up the baby’s room! I’m talking about adorning those walls with some sweet digs. Momma bear is busy making a human, so only the best nursery must haves for a unique modern mom will do!
