No. These are not cookies :0) They are actually Valentine’s heart pins that I helped the children create as a cute little gift for their moms.
I purchased unfinished wooden hearts and applied a quick coat of platinum-colored spray paint, which took about 30 minutes to dry.
I bought these Self-stick Gems, made by Darice, which were so sparkly! They were easy for the children to peel and apply to their wooden heart and, when they were done, I hot-glued one of these 1″ pins to the back:
That’s it! Fairly easy for preschoolers and toddlers to handle, and inexpensive.
The kids were very excited and couldn’t wait to present their Valentine’s gift to their moms, and I was so excited to have created something that I did not have to eat.

Note: All supplies, with the exception of the spray paint, were purchased at Michael’s.
How lucky are the kids — and their moms — to have you in their lives!

This is my FAVORITE gift from my Nicky Noodles! He loves making crafts with Miss Annie! I loved this pin so much that I copied the idea and made them for Mother’s Day with my second grade students. Nick and I are VERY LUCKY to have Miss Annie in our lives! We love her!
What size hearts did you use? Thanks!
They were approximately 2″ high, by 1 1/2″ at the widest point. Have fun!
