Won’t ZOO Be Mine Valentines

Silly puns, corny cards, sweet treats, and lots of heart-felt feelings, what’s not to love about Valentine’s Day?

My kids are always asking me which holiday is my favorite. I always struggle to pick just one favorite, I love them all.  They all have something quirky, fun, or fabulous that makes them worth celebrating. 

If you can’t tell I’m wild about celebrating and making Valentine’s Day special, and these Won’t ZOO Be Mine Valentines are a fun and easy way to make February 14th extra special.

Zoo Themed Valentines

I originally created and shared this simple version of a quick Cricut project I whipped up for my kids. 

But, this year I decided to update them and add a few “wild” details.

A couple of years ago I went wild buying a whole bunch of different treat bags for all occasions. Of course, they eventually got buried under new projects and forgotten. But while I was preparing some neighbor gifts for Christmas, I rediscovered these adorable heart bags I’d picked up at the local party store.

Using my trusty Cricut, I designed an easy topper and ta-dah…instant cute and simple valentines for your kids, friends or teachers!  

I love being able to write my message and cut it all in a single step. The Cricut is such a versatile craft tool that makes it easy to change sayings, fonts, and designs to fit your style.

How to Make Cricut Bag Toppers

You can add a little heart to the left-hand corner of the treat bag and personalize it with each recipient’s name.  Or you could use one of the many adorable zoo animals available in Cricut Design Space to create a cute zoo-themed design.

I filled my treat bags with frosted animal crackers so I could use the “Won’t Zoo Be Mine?” saying, but if you wanted a non-food treat you could fill the bag with plastic toy zoo animals.

 

From design to finished bags, the whole project only took me about 30 minutes to create a dozen bags!  As a blogger it’s my job to constantly be working on ideas and come up with creative projects that inspire others. But, sometimes in the process of trying to deliver one-of-a-kind ideas, I forget how much I love a quick, simple, and easy project that isn’t overly complicated.  Sometimes you just need simple…and frosted animal crackers!
