    WE have that magnet board!!!! Do your kids actually try to use it the way it’s supposed to be used? My soon to be 5 year old just likes to make shapes out of shapes, you know circles that he places into the planets and then rectangles into squares and stuff like that 🙂

    He is a master at making triangles with his scissors out of construction paper 🙂 Oh, I’m clicking through an ad here, but wanted to take a moment and comment on the content, good stuff here. 😀

    Thank you for sharing.

VALENTINES DAY GIFT IDEA Comment “GIFT” and I VALENTINES DAY GIFT IDEA  Comment “GIFT” and I’ll send you a direct message with the links to shop!  💕This heart pillow makes the perfect gift for friends and family - especially those who live far away! It’s like giving and receiving a hug!  💕The pillow is soft and the perfect size — making it a cute piece of decor on a couch or bed too.  💕The sweetest note is included that I think adds a personal and perfect touch! This pillow comes in plenty of pretty colors but they tend to sell out or colors get limited during Valentines Day.  💕But save this post for later because it makes a great gift throughout the year too.  It’s a perfect ‘just because’ or ‘thinking of you’ gift - or if someone close to you is going through an illness or tough time.  💕I’m about to put this one in the mail to someone special - and I can’t wait for them to get it! 🥰 And if you give this (or get this) pillow, I hope you enjoy too! 🫶  #valentinesgift #valentinesdaygift #valentinegifts #valentinegiftideas #valentinegiftsforher #valentinegiftidea #heartpillow #valentinesday #valentinesday2024 #valentinesdayideas

You can also get this info in my LTK shop through the link in my profile.  Tips for a  Valentine Charcuterie Board:  ❤️Choose your theme: pick a theme for your board like: meats & cheese & fruit (that is what I did - with a few sweet cookies thrown in), a candy board with different types of candies, a breakfast board, fruit board, etc.  ❤️Place a few larger pieces in separate spots on the board for focal points and fill in with smaller items.  ❤️Have fun with it! I made this board as I filmed it. If you don’t like the way something looks together, just move it! There’s no right or wrong way and the options are endless!
