Madigan made… brick wall inspired Valentine treat bag toppers.
I am a member of the Make It: Fun® Team. This kids craft is sponsored by FloraCraft® Make It: Fun® Foam. All opinions, as always, are my own.
What is it about cheesy Valentine’s Day sayings? I love them, personally. Punny quips have an appeal that spans generations… young or old, they always seem to generate a smile from people!
The folks from FloraCraft® recently sent me a bunch of cute crafting kits for kids this past month. Now, my hubby and I don’t have kids, but we have nieces and nephews that would have a blast creating with all of these foam shapes. The solar system and diorama kits were pretty cool, but I was drawn to the big boxes of pre-painted foam bricks… the possibilities for building with them are endless!
Before I turned these kits over to our nieces and nephews, I couldn’t resist ‘playing’ with one of the brick sets to create a fun and easy Valentine’s craft to share with you. These simple treat bag toppers were easy to create with a handful of bricks per bag. They’d be a fun craft to make with kids this Valentine season. If you can’t find the foam Make It: Fun® Project Bricks at your craft store, you can still print off this free printable below and have your kids draw or color in their own “wall” on each bag topper.
