sharing the love//55 ideas for "no candy" DIY valentines

if you are anything like my husband and i, you try your best to feed your child healthy balanced meals, avoiding processed foods and candies.  holidays make this especially difficult, and especially for kiddos. unfortunately as a society we have centered so many of our holidays around candy or food.......halloween, thanksgiving, and rapidly approaching, valentine's day!  while i love any DIY craft, especially ones that involve wren, i do not welcome the idea of gifting other children diabetes or rotten teeth.  yes wren has had candy and yes i think it is okay in moderation, but a bag full of candy filled valentine's is not my idea of a proper gift for a almost 2 year old.  so for those parents who think like us and want to get in on the fun of valentine's without the candy, this post is for you!
