I have been searching for ideas for Valentines crafts to do with my little guys. The 6 year old is easier, but I was having trouble coming up with ideas for the 2 year old.
I came across a great (and super affordable) idea on rustsunshine.
All you need is:
An empty toilet paper roll
A little Paint
Blank cards/cardstock or construction paper
Flatten out the toilet paper roll and then form into a heat shape....wrap a piece of tape around it to hold it in place.
Put a small amount of paint on a plate and dip the heart shapped toilet paper roll into the paint.
Hand it to your little one and let them have fun.
This is a great idea for Valentines cards for family members. Check out rustsunshine for all the info!!!

Rainbow Shaving Cream Bath Paint
I have been looking for fun bathtime ideas and came across this post for Shaving Cream Bath Paint...I can't believe that I never thought of this.
What you'll need:
foaming shaving cream
food coloring
container - Try a muffin tin
paint brushes
*Added benefit for the couponing parents out there...you probably have a stockpile of free or almost free shaving cream, so that makes the cost almost nothing.
My concern, along with many other commenters on the blog post (linked above) was if the food coloring will stain your bathtub/grout. It appears that if using only a drop or so of food coloring there is no staining. Though I would suggest you do a quick test before letting your kids go crazy with it. I plan to do the same when I do this at bath time.
I hope that your little ones love this...I know mine will!!!

I NEED a Blue VTech Innotab
I have literally spent most of this week looking for a Blue VTech Innotab. My husbands Uncle got my 6 year old one for Christmas but mistakenly bought the purple one. My son was very gracious and said that he would keep the purple one, but I know that he would eventually be upset that he didn't have the blue one so we have been searching online and calling stores all week to try to track one down.
The issue that I am having is that some stores, specifically Target (which I love by the way) show that they are in stock at many local stores when you look online, but when you call the store they say "the system is 24 hours behind in updating and they are out of stock." Now that wouldn't be a problem except it is now 3 days since they said that and I am still seeing online that they are labeled as "in stock".
Now tomorrow morning, I will be going to Target to check and see if they actually have the product in stock. I wouldn't mind, except for the fact that the reason they have this option available online is so that you know when a product is in stock at the store and now I will be heading in there with no idea if I will actually find the product on the shelf.
If this doesn't work we will just give up on the stores and order it online directly from VTech.
- Wish me Luck Tomorrow!!!
