Valentine's Day Bouquet

My goal: Create fun and colorful Valentine's Day treats for the boys using ingredients and materials that I already have on hand.

Marshmallows, white icing, and sprinkles {three ingredients they love} used to make my version of homemade Peeps

Tip: Warm the icing slightly for smooth dipping. Chill the coated marshmallows in a mini-muffin pan.

Bamboo skewers {stained green with non-toxic watercolors} and colorful paper cut outs {gotta love that orange and red combo!}.

Flower pots, tissue paper, and foam or oasis {in my case, old, green Play-doh} needed to make the arrangement.

The little guys will each find a colorful bouquet at their table place on Valentine's Day. No purchase necessary. 

Unfortunately, the professor does not consider marshmallows to be one of the finer things in life.
