Valentine's Craft




Crafts are a fun activity on Skype/Facetime.  Chase and I did this for Valentine’s Day.  I set it up with Lindsay to have paper, glue and marshmallows ready.  We started with the Stuffy (see my first post)and I had every pocket filled with fun toys he knows (Elmo, Nemo, a frog, a truck and a Valentine’s pig).  The last one was a bag of marshmallows in Stuffy’s mouth.  Lindsay had placed Chase’s bag of marshmallows on his bed (our normal place when I have a surprise for him).  She drew the heart ahead of time so he just had to follow the shape.  Make the heart smaller for the younger kids so it doesn’t take too long.  You may need to put the heart away until the glue dries.  You don’t want to have to do this again if your grandchild picks up the paper too soon.  We ended with eating the left-over marshmallows.  This was easy to set up and Chase stayed engaged the whole time.  Win!!
