Make Valentine's Day baskets for your kids
It’s a beautiful time of the year and I’m doing some thing I’ve never done before! I’m making the girls Valentine’s Day baskets.
All items are under $25 - with the lowest being $6. I didn’t used to do this. I would just buy the things needed for class and Nick would get us all flowers and we'd go on a date.
This year, I wanted it to be different, for Valentine's Day, I wanted to do something so they still feel like my special little cubs.
These are the items I bought for the baskets
Books
My three girls are at different stages in reading. My daughter, Sona, is doing so well with her reading, and Ziva's trying to hop on the train as well! Toddler Nora can chew on hers!
Thermos Cups
We take lots of walks and go on hikes, so the girls needed new thermos cup. I got some of their favorite characters (Moana and Elsa). Nora is really into Bluey so I got her the straw cups. I can’t wait to see her face when she find them in her basket!
Cute Hats
So I saw these hats while scrolling on Amazon and I thought these were so cute and stylish for our walks or just everyday wear as it starts to warm up! The girls are constantly trying on all of my hats, so this is a nice way to start their collection!
Sunglasses
Sona and Ziva already have sunglasses, but I needed a cute pair for Nora! Nora has a tendency to take her sisters' things especially when she does not have it! So I decided to put those in there with a cute bathing suit.
Activity Books
Now these are not regular activity books! One of the books is for fine motor skills. It teaches the child how to button, snap and tie shoelaces. It even has the days of the week on the back and clocks on the other side. I like to think of it as a tinker book. The other one is this really cool drawing book that came with markers. I haven’t used them but they look so cool! It looks like they change colors as you write on the black pad! Ziva is really into dinosaurs and drawing so I got a dinosaur one and I’m really excited to not only give it to her but also see what it does!
Rattle Ball
So Nora is 18 months old and definitely into shaking to figure things out, and teething. So, I thought this ball would be perfect. When it arrived, it was accidentally opened and she saw it, so we had to give it to her early. She's been loving it and eating it every single moment she gets. I’m happy that it is soothing those gums!
