The outer packaging came with a Gramma in a Box sticker.
The box arrived in excellent condition.
The kit shows up bundled neatly together under some cute red polka dots tissue.
It was also secured using a Gramma in a Box sticker.
Most of the items came in separate plastic containers.
This month’s box includes a promotional card.
Featured at the back of the card are some photos of previous month’s projects!
We also received a message from Gramma Terry! This month’s theme is Valentine Treats.
Featured at the back is the list of all the items included inside the box. They also provided a list of items you’ll need from home.
Every month, 3 projects are included in the box. This month, the projects are Valentine Cookies, Valentine Candy Cane Hearts, and Cupid’s Arrows.
The other side of the card features the list of all the ingredients for each recipe.
Everything in the February 2021 box!
First Project: Cupid’s Arrow. For the first project, my kids used melting chocolates, pretzel rods, and conversation hearts!
The first step is to melt the chocolates by popping them in the oven for 30 seconds and then stirring them. If they’re not yet fully melted after 30 seconds, just repeat the procedure until you get a smooth texture.
Next, my kids positioned their chosen conversation hearts with two smaller pieces on one end and a bigger one in the other.
They used the melted chocolate to stick the pretzel rod and it’s all done!
This treat is very easy to prepare!
They’re fun, cute, and of course, yummy!
Second Project: Valentine Candy Cane Hearts. For the second project, the box provided individually wrapped candy canes, rice crispies, and sprinkles. My kids also used the left over melted chocolate from the previous project.
First, my kids mixed the rice crispies with the melted chocolate.
The next step is to position two candy canes opposite each other to create a heart shape.
Then, fill the middle with the melted chocolate and rice crispies mixture! It’s such a fun family project.
You just have to make sure that the mixture touches the sides of the candy canes so it won’t fall off when you remove it from the wax paper.
Lastly, put some sprinkles on top!
These turned out really great! My kids loved the red, pink, and white color combination of the sprinkles.
Third Project: Valentine Cookies. We’re on to the last part, which is all about decorating cookies! The kit came with ready made sugar cookies, frosting, and even decorations like colored sugar and sprinkles.
These are so fun and easy to make!
Just nip the tip of the piping bag containing the colored frostings and kids can start with their desired designs.
You can even use a toothpick to even out the filling and the edges.
You can even use two colors of frosting in one cookie!
Once you’re done putting frosting, just add sprinkles or colored sugar for the final touch.
Here are the finished products! My kids did a great job in decorating the Valentine’s Day themed cookies!
This cookie decorating activity is a great way for kids to unleash their creativity!
Aside from the heart and lip-shaped cookies, there were also X and O-shaped cookies.
Here’s a final look at all the edible projects my kids made this month!
This month’s Valentine-themed edible crafts were so fun and easy to make, plus the final products turned out tasty! My kids loved making both the candy cane hearts and cupid’s arrows, as well as decorating their cookies with the frosting and the sprinkles of their choice. The box includes the ingredients for each project, so you don’t have to go out and shop for them. Overall, this subscription provides a great way of enhancing kids’ creativity and the projects can also serve as an exciting sibling activity. Then afterwards, you’d have enough yummy snacks for everyone to munch on!
