Awesome Sauce Valentines

February 10, 2019 by Cara

Not only is this non-candy idea great for your kids to pass out in their classroom and/or friends, but these Awesome Sauce Valentines (with a free printable!) actually make great snack stuffers in your kid’s lunchbox all yearlong. Now you don’t need Valentine’s Day to tell your little kiddo how amazing they are!*

*But you already knew that, didn’t you?…

All you need to make Applesauce Valentines are these five things:

  1. applesauce cups of choice
  2. THIS FREE “YOU’RE AWESOME SAUCE” PRINTABLE
  3. a printer
  4. scissors
  5. glue

I mean, where else is someone going to tell you that you just need five things (easy, around-the-house type of things) that will make your parent of the year?! Nowhere friends. Stick with me because I got your back. This is parenthood. We want to make it look like we spend days on something when in reality it only took 10 minutes.
