Party Food
1) Fruit kabobs: made from Strawberries, blueberries and pineapple. Place in a vase fruit side up for a beautiful, edible decoration
2) Love Potion: made from 7-up and strawberry sherbet. Empty a liter of 7-up( or other clear soda) in to a punch bowl. Then dollop the strawberry sherbet into the soda. Mix gently for a pink, frothy, delicious drink. (tip: freeze some of the soda in ice cube trays the night before to help keep cool with out watering down)
3)Red Jello Hearts: All you need is a box of Strawberry Jello and a hear shaped cookie cutter

4) Conversation Heart cookies: We found this idea at FamilyCorner.com

We hope you have making these crafts with your kiddos. Check back soon for our Adult Valentine's Day idea post!
