Valentines Food & Art Project For Kids

A lot of people get hung up on the romantic aspect of Valentine's Day. But Valentine's is a day simply for expressing love and kindness of all sorts. It's also a great day to indulge in chocolate!

Teach your kids about healthy eating, while honing their fine motor and creative skills, by making these easy treats: Strawberry-Chocolate Love Bugs.

Knee High Preschool's Recipe For Valentine's Love Bugs

You'll need:

• Strawberries
• A bowl of melted chocolate
• A tube of white frosting
• Toothpicks

Let kids pick a strawberry. First, name your Love Bug. Is your Love Bug a boy or a girl? Where does your Love Bug live?

Next, let your child dip the tip of the strawberry into the chocolate (make sure it's cooled down a bit!). Your child can also use a toothpick to put dots of chocolate on the Love Bug's back.

Finally, once the chocolate hardens, allow your child to use the white frosting to create eyes for the bug. Encourage him or her to decorate the Love Bug carefully, adding creative flourishes as desired.

Finally, enjoy eating your healthy snack together. Enjoy bonding with your extra special Valentine this year. Love is in the air.
