Jenny's Crayon Collection: Target Dollar Spot

3 Easy Preschool Valentines Activities, Target Mailboxes and Hearts and Sugar Cookies

I teach preschool for my kids. For Valentines Day we decorated some mailboxes from Target. Then we sewed some Valentines hearts and then frosted sugar cookies. Each kid had a different colored mailbox and got to pick out which stickers they wanted to use to decorate it with. I also had letter stickers to so they could put their names on them.

Here are the finished mailboxes. They all turned out so unique. The kids then put their Valentines into each of the boxes.

If you do not want to find the stickers yourself Target is selling mailboxes with stickers this year.

Here are the Valentine hearts we made. All the kids liked it. The Spritz package from Target came with lots of different colors. I have seen these hearts there this year. The needles were safe for the kid. They got got put stuffing into the hearts and decorate them how they wanted to. It was a good hand eye coordination for the kid.

After that we decorated sugar cookies. Here is the recipe. The kids all got to put on as much icing as they wanted and they got to choose the sprinkles they put on the cookies. They all turned out different.

Crayola Activity Floor Pad-Learn to Draw

I picked up the Crayola Learn to Draw-Activity Floor Pad in the dollar section or Bull's Eye's Playground at Target during back to school. The Activity Pad is meant to be used on the floor and includea step by step drawing instructions for drawing different animals and objects. My daughter has drawn many things with this activity pad and loves it. She is already a better drawer than me.

Crayola Piggy Banks: What's Inside the Tin

I bought these Crayola metal piggy bank tins for my kids. The tins are shaped like giant crayons and have a hole in the side of the crayon for money. They come in the colors denim, razzmatazz, royal purple and shamrock. I have seen other versions of the tins in different colors and different sizes. They unfortunately do not last very long with little kids, but would probably far better with old kids. I'm so glad I took a picture when I did because I'm going to have to throw them away soon because they are all bent. The kids kept getting into our money and I thought these would be a good idea to teach them how to save their money. I guess they are still a little young. They loved them but the money never stayed in and now I'm going to have to throw them away soon because they are very bent!

Crayola Take-Along Tissues

These Crayola Take-Along Tissues were available for 1 dollar each in the Target Dollar Spot during back to school time in 2015. I loved the design of the packaging. My son loved it too and opened on of the packages. I was sad, but I am so glad I got pictures of them before he did that. These tissues are not made by Crayola, they outsource a lot of their merchandise. The tissues were plain white once out of the packaging.
