The hunt for sugar-free school valentines came up empty. So we asked the gals at Prudent Baby for their help. And tada! A valentine that will melt your heart.
Step One: Gather the Goods
For ten bags, you'll need ten four-inch treat bags and 40 crayons. For the wrapping, you'll need a pencil sharpener, iron, roll of wax paper, 40 glue dots, and five additional crayons.
Step Two: Love Notes
Print sweet messages ("You color my world,""You brighten my day") on standard copy paper and cut into strips.

Step Three: Close Shave
Have your little helper use the pencil sharpener to shave peeled crayons onto a sheet of wax paper, then place a message face-up on top.
Step Four: Heat Things Up
Top the message with a second sheet of wax paper, and with a towel protecting your iron, melt the crayon between the sheets for five to ten seconds.
