Valentine DIY “Punch a Prize” Game

As soon as we had kids, Valentine’s Day became mostly about them!

Don’t get me wrong… I’ll never refuse chocolates or a bouquet of flowers… but!

We’ve started celebrating our little loves and our family on the day, instead of just Mike and I as a couple.

We get the kids a little treat, nothing too big! Some sweet treats, heart glasses are a must and I couldn’t resist those little antennas!

I thought it would be fun, to make a little game out of them getting their treats!

I put together this super easy punch game!

The kids loved taking turns and collecting their goodies!

I paid a visit to our local dollar store and grabbed some:

• Tissue paper
• Red paper cups
• A large foam poster board
• Assorted candy
• Valentine’s Day stamps

I planned out my heart shape on the board first. Then I filled the cups with treats.

After that I covered each cup with tissue paper, glued it down, and trimmed the edges.

Once it was all dry we were ready to go!

The kids actually loved taking turns picking a spot, punching the paper and discovering what was inside!

I honestly don’t know who loved it more, Mike and I… or the kids!

The fact that there was no fighting and we got to enjoy a cup of coffee while it was still hot, might make us the real winners! Ha!

This will definitely be something we’ll be doing next year!

It was such a simple project, that delivered huge smiles and laughs! Considering everything came from the dollar store, I’d say it was a huge Momwin!

Don’t take my word for it!

Just look at those smiles!
