Use a heart shaped cookie cutter to create these gorgeous strawberry hearts. Thread them onto a skewer, alternating with grapes (or fruit of your choice). Remember to cut off the sharp part of the skewer, so that it is school safe.

Whip out that heart shaped cookie cutter again (a larger one this time too).

“To make strawberry cream cheese, combine 4 oz. of 1/3 less fat cream cheese, 5 or 6 chopped strawberries, and one teaspoon of brown sugar. Combine the ingredients by squishing them together with a fork until the mixture is fairly smooth and an even pink color.

Cut two heart shapes from a piece of whole wheat bread with a 2 inch heart cutter. Cut another heart from the center of one of the bread pieces with a smaller cutter. Spread a layer of the cream cheese on the solid heart and top with the second piece so some of the pretty, pink cream cheese peeks through.” // Source: www.modernparentsmessykids.com

Popcorn Confetti

This one tastes as good as it looks, and it sure does look pretty! All you need is popcorn, white chocolate melts, pink food colouring and white sprinkles. Mix your melted chocolate with a couple of drops of food colouring then combine with the popcorn. You’ll have to work fast, as the chocolate is hot but will cool quickly. Place the popcorn into the container/s you’ll use and sprinkle away!
