Hey, it’s valentine season again – and with that, those cute valentine candy hearts! With the words on them, they are often more fun than chocolate candy for valentines. This year, whether you actually eat them or not, you can have lots of fun with them.
Write A Love Letter With Them
Have you ever written a love letter? Try writing one this year, letting conversation valentine candy hearts do some of the writing for you. Just plan around the hearts you want to include, and glue them down in the right places on the page.
How Do I Love Thee?
Similarly, you can use them while writing love poems – what special someone wouldn’t like that? Everyone loves a bit of romance – and the Valentines candy hearts make it more fun than ever!
Give Them Away, One By One
Pass Valentines Day conversation candy hearts to your friends as you pass them in the hallway at school. They’ll be very surprised. And if you mean what they say – they do the work of calling someone “my guy” or “lover” for you!
Playing With Your Food
Use them in a couples party game – use your imagination for how to play. One idea is to use them as markers in a game of Bingo! Maybe have famous couples for the names on each square? Or something a bit more – risqué?
Celebrate The Season Of Love At Work
Everyone loves a few valentines candy hearts in February. If you have more than you need, put some in a candy dish at work. They won’t last long.
Help A Kid With Math
Valentine candy hearts, like other small candies, are perfect to practice those tricky math concepts. Ideas like adding and subtracting stick in the brain quicker when using edible yummies as manipulatives.
Art Time!
Candy hearts for valentines come in so many pastel colors (pink, green, yellow, blue, white, orange…) – they’ll work great for art projects. Make designs using the different colors in different places – and if you don’t glue them down, you can eat them afterwards.
I Scream For Ice Cream!
Don’t forget that valentine candy hearts work great as a topping for ice cream in the chilly month of February. So festive!
Planning Ahead – St. Patrick’s Day?
If you want to get ready for the next big holiday, spray paint all your leftover valentine candy hearts an intense green. Once they’ve dried, use them to make shamrocks (points together!) for a St. Patrick’s Day art project.
