I absolutely love homemade and handmade gifts. I found a pin on Pinterest that allowed me to do both for my daughters teachers this Valentines Day. Instead of a card and chocolates we made these super cute "I Love You S'More" jars for her teachers.
S'Mores Jar
16oz latch jar or mason jar for gifting
1- 11.4oz bag Valentine's M&M's
1- 10oz Honey Teddy Grahams
1- 160z bag mini Marshmallows
Construction Paper, Ribbon
In a large mixing bowl add M&M's, Teddy Grahams and Mini Marshmallows
Let your child mix ingredients together with a scoop or large wide mouth spoon
Let your child scoop combined mixture into latch jars or mason jars.
**Mixture obviously makes a lot. We made double the recipe and it filled 3 jars
and had plenty left over for our cookie jar to snack on.**
Cut hearts with construction paper and let your child write "Love You S'More"
and their name on the heart.
{I love the idea of handwritten cards for the jars instead of printing or typing something. It shows that your child played a part in crafting this gift for them. My daughter is in Pre-K and I find her handwriting makes me smile...shows just how small she is}
Punch hole in corner and tie heart on jar with the ribbon.
And there you have it. And easy and fairly cheap Valentine's Day Teacher Gift.
Have a blessed Valentine's Day!
This idea came from the blog and link found on Pinterest. See original recipe here!
