I love celebrating Valentine's Day at our house. It's so much fun to surprise the boys with a special breakfast and show them my love. One of my favorite memories growing up was heart-shaped pancakes and other special breakfasts my mom always made. I want my kids to have the same kinds of memories.
I asked Mark what he wanted to do to celebrate Valentine's Day this week and he wanted to make "party heart" cookies. I actually made these for an auction event I had last week, but I plan on making these hearts and white circles for him tomorrow. I'll let him help me ice them and then the following day he can decorate them with markers. I'm no expert on cookie decorating, but I've learned a lot from Bake at 350 and my cookie and icing recipe are the ones on her site. Plus, the edible markers for decorating cookies can be ordered through her as well.
Lastly, I decided that this week would be a great week to work on our cutting skills. We are making homemade Valentine's to send to our great grandparents who live in Texas. Mark was most impressed that he could cut the line I drew, then open the shape to reveal a heart. "Mom! That's amazing! It IS a heart!" (It's the little things, right?)
What are you doing with your preschooler this week to celebrate Valentine's Day?
