Crafting with Kids-Valentines & CD Cookie Pouches Tutorial
Easy Childrens Valentines & Cookie CD Pouch goodies
Crafty Kids can make Cd Cookie Pouches & Matching Valentine gift with mums help!
Choose some colored papers,stamps or if you dont have valentine ones use old greeting cards to cut up, ink pad, pinking shears & your off!Stamp & glue valentines image on cardstock. I used pink shown here, and the kids stamped a red kangaroo. Layer onto another color cardstock and glue down, repeat again so its thick with 3 layers & cut out with pinking shears. Stamp on paper & glue or write on back To & From & what ever words you would like(see white paper with matching red inked words below) Ours says
"Here's a treat cause your so sweet!" made by StampinUp
We used paper CD holders with the transparent fronts(to show cookie)through. We stamped a red inked heart along top & bottom edge of cookie pouch, then added a co-ordinating paper tag with some old ric rac. Pop in cookie of your choice- wouldn't a pink iced sugar cookie look fantastic peeking out! Together makes a great Valentine & cookie gift for fellow school pals or friends!
We found the paper cd holders in 50 packs for under $5.00 at the grocery store. Heres 20 we made for everyone in class,al assorted. Now we just need to make some heart-shaped cookies !But then again the chocolate chip are always an all time fav.

I don't have any children but I think my friends have some cd sleeve-encased cookies in store for them =) I love this idea.
I love how you used the CD holders. So creative.
Thanks for visiting my blog the other day. I checked out your pics of felt food on Flickr and loved them all. I've never seen popsicles before - so cute. And your milk carton is adorable. Lots of inspiration.

The kangeroos are are a great idea and the little poem is so sweet. I'm sure you will have many smiley faces on valentines day :)
Brilliant idea putting the cookies in the paper cd holders!
Hi Angela, love your ideas... you are extremely crafty and clever, which make for an excellent match. I have a question for you though.... I bought some clay at our local craft store and forgot to ask the salesperson what to do with it. I was wondering if you knew if I just leave it out to air dry or ?????? I want to encourage the children to make beads and buttons to help mummy make gifts for their little friends. Help! Lots of love, Nicole xox.
What a fun idea of something you can do with the kids--and give them that great pride moment "I made this for you!" Yeah!!
Smiles, Karen
