Sun + Rainbow || Paper Plate Craft + Toy

DIY + Free Valentine Printable Adventures

 Kelsey Klos x Mama Jots (Steph)

 Kelsey Klos  + I collaborated on designing 3 magical backgrounds for your little mini maker to color + create this heart day holiday season!  With all this time being spent at home I knew putting together a mini coloring activity for Abby's class of 9 (included her!) was something she'd love to give as well color herself! While equally, being a gift to the parents.   : )

My friend Kelsey is a creative force within herself styling and designing constantly for small businesses including her own co-owned company,  House of Fete! Along with a recent magazine spread in Good House Keeping + Green Wedding Shoes. 

So today... we're so excited to bring you this fun little DIY/activity/Valentine to help celebrate + encourage all the mini makers and holiday heart lovers alike!

Valentine Play Kitchen || Decor

Cake pops! Sugar, and all things sweet was the theme for decorating our play kitchen this heart holiday season by pulling out all the sweet treat play food we own + then putting them out on display! With our  cake pop toy front + center. Then we updated our menu with sprinkles, love + sugar which you can  click here to download for free!

Replaced the  star chandelier with hearts which we painted pink + gold. Then lastly added a fun pink Valentine princess cape to our collection. Everything else we already owned + pulled together in creating, a "sugar" theme for this heart holiday season!

 

Hug Craft || Valentine's Day

Craft Hug!

 Traced the girls hands then cut around them by leaving an inch or so in making the mitten shape on the other side. Next, added  sticker letters to each mitten, "A Hug From Me" on hand + "To You!" on the other! Over on  Instagram, you see us make the entire craft start to finish.

Enjoy + Virtual Hugs

Warmly, Steph
