Duck -Treats- Valentine's Day DIY

Duck :Treats: DIY for Valentine's Day!



Dearest Loverlies,

Can you believe Valentine's Day is only a few days away? We can't either!  Looking for a fun and easy gift idea for the littles? Well don't you worry, you have come to the right place... We have you covered. :)

Feeding the ducks is one of the most fun and cherished activities we like to do with our loves. We enjoy the sunshine and relaxation of the water while the babes LOVE interacting with the ducks. We are obsessed with our Duck :Treats: container as it's convenient and you don't need to worry about having bread on hand.

Here's a little fact: did you know many park districts don't like the ducks eating bread? That's why we suggest using whole grain cereal instead of bread as it's healthier for the ducks. Have fun with this quick and easy gift! 

You Need:

Plastic Canister *found at your local Dollar Tree

Whole Grain Cereal

For Label
Black Vinyl *optional

Silhouette or Cricut Machine *optional

Washi Tape *optional

For Valentine's Day Tag

Glitter Cardstock

White Label or Paper

Jute or Ribbon

How To Make {It's Easy Peasy}

1. Pour cereal into canister. 


2. Using an image of a duck with your Silhouette or Cricut software, type "Duck Treats" inside the image. Adjust the size to your desire and cut the image on black vinyl. 
If you don't have a Silhouette or Cricut, feel free to make a simple sticker label. We wish we could share ours with you, however we are unable to due to Copyright Laws. 
*Another fun alternative to our duck label can be to buy a bunch of stickers and get your little one involved by having them apply stickers to the canister itself. 


3. Stick Label onto canister. 


4. Cut out heart on glitter card stock using the Silhouette or Cricut. 




5. Using Word, type on mini labels or use white paper, and cut it.

You Make My Heart "Quack" 
Love, 
Your Child's Name




6. Stick label on the back of the heart. Hole punch the heart and attach to the canister using the jute.


7. If you want to add a loverly touch, we like to add wash tape around the lid. 


8. Ta Da! All done. Enjoy passing these out as gifts or using it with your own little one. 

Happy Valentine's Day to you and yours! <3
