Valentine’s Day Craft Scavenger Hunt

We found this SUPER cute Valentine’s Day craft on Playcrafts.com a website that offers original monthly kids craft kits delivered right to your mailbox. For more information on Playcrafts.com click here.

Craft Scavenger Hunt Instructions:

1. Start the scavenger hunt with the Large Foam Heart with a note saying:

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY
Please help make me complete,
so that we both can enjoy a Valentine treat.

The first thing I need is my face,
let’s go look in your favorite place.

Hide the eyes & mouth materials somewhere in your child’s “favorite” spot. Have them attach the face using craft foam stickers or glue stick.

2. Note included with face materials:

Wow, this really is fun,
but there’s still more to come.

The top of my head feels so bare,
can you find me some hair, maybe from a chair?

Have the materials for the “hair” hidden on a chair. I made the hair out of short pipe cleaners with hearts attached at the top. Your child can attach the hair by holding the hair on the back of the large heart and using the foam oval sticker to secure.

3. Note included with hair materials:

Now my head feels complete,
but aren’t I missing some feet?

It couldn’t be clearer,
I can see my legs in the mirror.

Tape the legs (2 white pipe cleaners twisted together with foam hearts attached to each end) to a mirror in your house. Legs can be attached to the heart person by bending the pipe cleaners into an upside down “v” shape and attaching to the back with oval foam sticker.

4. Note with legs:

Please use your charms,
to find me some arms.

I need them to give you a hug.
Maybe their hiding on a rug?

Hide the arms (2 white pipe cleaners twisted together with smaller hearts on each end) on a rug in your home. Attach the arms to the back with an oval foam sticker.

5. Note with arm materials:

So quickly you’ve reached your goal
in making me whole.

Are you ready for that Valentine treat?
I think it’s snuggled in someone’s sheets.

Hide your Valentine treat (box of candy, stuffed animal, etc.) in your child’s bed with a big “I LOVE YOU” banner on the treat.

Virtual Valentine’s Day Scavenger Hunt… Calling ALL Wine Lovers – this one is for YOU!

Six years ago a small group of wineries in Chester County, PA, joined forces to create the Brandywine Valley Wine Trail in southeastern Pennsylvania. Today the region continues to grow in both acres of vineyards and numbers of wineries. Each winery has it’s own distinct personality for you to discover as you tour the local vineyards, taste test in the wine cellars, and picnic on the beautiful grounds.

There are several tasting events going on this Valentine’s Day weekend. Click here for more information and to view the events calendar.

The Wine Trail has two passport events each year at which passport holders are able to take part in wine tastings and a variety of events at each member winery.

The Brandywine Valley Wine Trail is giving away two Barrels on the Brandywine Passports to one lucky Virtual Valentine’s Day Scavenger hunt winner. The passports (or “tickets”) are good for tastings at all Chester County, Brandywine Valley Wine Trail member wineries on all weekends in March during the Annual Barrels on the Brandywine event. The passport also provides for a commemorative wine glass.

The winner of this prize and their guest will taste the developing vintages in barrels, buckets, bottles, see the new wines firsthand, and enjoy music and the special events planned at the stops on the Brandywine Valley Wine Trail. This prize pack is worth $50+ (the value of individual tastings at member wineries). The Passports are transferable. Please note: Passport holders must be 21 years of age to enjoy the wines of the Trail.

Facebook Savvy Readers… Become a Fan of the Brandywine Valley Wine Trail and stay up to date on events and specials.
