For Classmates
Minon Valentines
Transform Twinkies into a group of Minions. Makes 10 Valentines. Finish with our printable message card available for download.
Supplies:- Twinkies
- Clear tape
- Construction paper
- Scissors
- Glue stick
- Ruler
- Fine point black marker
- Nickel or Dime
- Valentine tag
- Ribbon
- Single hole punch
- On blue construction paper measure 1/2 inch wide strip and a 1 1/2 inch wide strip using ruler. Cut the strips.
- Secure one end of 1 1/2 in. piece of blue construction paper with a piece of tape on the back of the Snazzy Cake then wrap around the Snazzy Cake. Secure remaining end of piece with tape.
- Take the 1/2 in. strip of blue construction paper and following the same method as the larger piece of paper, secure just below the top of the Snazzy Cake. Now you have the goggle strap in place.
- If you want to make a one-eyed minion trace a nickel-sized circle on white paper. If you want to make a two-eyed minion, trace a dime sized circle. Cut out the traced circles.
- Cut out the smaller black circles for the eye using black construction paper. We recommend the size of these circles to be the size of an eraser on the tip of a pencil. Shortcut: using a fine tip black marker, you can also color in the eyes of the Minion.
- Use a glue stick to assemble the eye(s). Secure eye(s) to the goggle strap with glue stick.
- Create different expressions using smaller pieces of black construction paper to make a mouth.
- Tape the Valentine tag onto your minion or use hole punch and tie the string to the tag. Secure tag to the minion using string.
