Valentine’s Tic Tac Toe

Tomorrow is the day for hearts and love and flowers and fun! 😉 Here’s a quick idea for a super simple game you might play with the kids on Valentine’s Day. Let’s call it Valentine Tic Tac Toe.

All you need is a piece of paper and a pen and some Valentine’s Day candy. Pick out 5 pieces of 2 different colors of candy…1 color for X and a different color for O. Draw a Tic Tac Toe board on your paper and you’re ready to play! There are lots of candy pieces that would work for Valentine Tic Tac Toe. Here’s enough colors of candy conversation hearts for 3 different games.

I love M&M’s candy so that’s the one I would choose to play with! 😉

You can even find candy hearts in the food decorating aisle of your favorite grocery store.

Depending on the size of your family or group, you could play separate games and the winners advance to the next round. The final winner could get a special prize and everyone could enjoy some Valentine’s Day candy! ;) Have fun!

Lego Advent Calendar Day #23

Hello again! Welcome back to day #23 of our Lego Friends Advent calendar! 🙂

What surprise will we find today?

This set goes nicely with the Christmas tree we made on day #21.

I think you’ll have fun building these cute little gifts.

And of course, we should put them close to the Christmas tree! 🙂

We have ONE day left in our Lego Advent calendar! See you tomorrow for one last surprise! 🙂

Lego Advent Calendar Day #22

We have reached day #22 of our Lego Friends Advent calendar! 🙂

Today’s Lego pieces are rather interesting.

When you put the pieces together they seem to make a little stand for storing hats and bows and things that might go in a hairdo.

Does that make sense? There might be a better name for this, but I can’t seem to come up with it. 😉

I think the kids might use these to play “dress up” at their sleep over.

See you tomorrow for the grand opening of door #23! 🙂

Lego Advent Calendar Day #20

Wow, these December days are zooming past so fast! It’s December 20th already which means we are ready for our Lego Friends Advent calendar door #20!

Alright, let’s do this! 🙂

Awww, are you seeing something so cute and adroable?

There’s just a few things to pop together on this one. How nice for the puppy to have wheels to help him get around. 🙂

We’ve put him in the scenery close to some of his new animal friends.

Be sure to check back tomorrow for what’s behind door #21! 🙂

Lego Advent Calendar Day #19

Our Lego Friends Advent calendar is winding down…only a few days left! But that’s ok because that means it’s almost Christmas, right? 🙂 Here we go with door #19!

What can it be?

That is actually a good question because I’m not sure what this one is either. Haha! 😉

When put together it looks like this…

What do you think? Could it be a karaoke machine? I can see how they might use one of those at a sleep over.

I doubt there will be much sleeping going on anyway! 😉 See you tomorrow for day #20!

Lego Advent Calendar Day #18

It’s late in the day but we are squeaking day #18 of our Lego Friends Advent calendar in under the wire! 😉

What fun is in store for us today?

I think these pieces are looking familiar to you now. 😉

And just like that, we have another friend for our sleep over! 🙂

That makes 5 friends now, right? Sounds like a great number for some fun!

See you back here tomorrow for another door opening!

Lego Advent Calendar Day #17

Sorry, sorry, sorry to miss posting yesterday! This sickness we caught has really kicked our tails and our little grandson that’s visiting has been pretty fussy too. I keep thinking we must be about done with this! Anyway, onward we go!

Door #17!

Let’s see what Lego we have for today!

Someone cute is amongst these pieces! 😉

I think it’s a hamster with its own little place to live. What do you think?

This is a cute and cuddly little set. 🙂

Keep an eye out for door #18 coming up! 🙂

Lego Advent Calendar Day #16

Aaaand we’re back to open door #16 on our Lego Friends Advent calendar!

What do we have here?

These are the pieces for today…

There’s not much to put together today. I am going to need your help again! I see that there are 2 hobby horses or stick ponies but what are the 2 red pieces?

Anybody have a guess for what the red pieces are? I’ve put them in the scenery altogether.

I hope someone has an explanation for what the red pieces are! See you back here tomorrow for the next door opening! 😉

Lego Advent Calendar Day #15

Here we go with day #15 of our Lego Friends Advent calendar!

Are you ready to open door #15?

Looks like we’re getting another friend! But she needs some help getting herself together! 😉

And there she is, all ready to join the slumber party!

We’re getting quite a group gathered, don’t you think?

Hope to see you tomorrow for opening door #16! 🙂
