Welcome to the NEW Classroom Valentine’s Day Party!
These cans are so much fun and can be filled with anything! Here are some of my favorite items for a party in a can.
mini snack foods (cookies, fruit snacks, crackers etc.)
How to Put Together the Valentine’s Day Party in a Can
CHOOSE A CAN WITH A PULL TOP…PREFERABLY A CAN THAT HAD SOME KIND OF FRUIT IN IT. FLIP THE CAN OVER AND OPEN IT FROM THE BOTTOM (KEEP THE PULL TOP SIDE INTACT), RESERVE THE LID. WASH AND DRY. IF A PIECE OF THE CAN IS LEFT BEHIND….SIMPLY USE PLIERS TO PRESS THE PIECE TO THE CAN. REMEMBER YOU ARE FILLING THE CAN FROM THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM. I LIKE TO START WITH COORDINATING SHREDDED PAPER. CANDYCANDYTOYSCUPCAKEFROSTINGSPRINKLES PLACE THE LID BACK ON THE CAN, ADHERE WITH SHIPPING TAPE. TAPE ONE END OF THE WRAPPER TO THE BACK WRAP AROUND AND SECURE WITH SHIPPING TAPE. POP THE TOP TO REVEAL ALL THE GOODIES. IT’S A PARTY STUFFED INTO ONE CAN!
Start with a cake mix, add sprinkles to the batter. TIP: For added color, add a few more sprinkles to the top of the cupcake batter in each mini cupcake well. Also use store bought frosting. Place the baked, cooled cupcake in the container with a lid.
SUPPLIES
CAKE MIX—ingredients listed on the box
STORE BOUGHT FROSTING
SPRINKLES
SOUFFLE CUPS (from Walmart or Amazon)
FROSTING BAG—I used 6¾ inch tall bags I found on jewelry making craft isle at Walmart—you can write the instructions with a permanent marker
SPRINKLES BAG—Found on the same isle as the frosting bags*measures about 3½ inches tall
Spoon the frosting into the piping bag, snip the corner and fill to about 2 inches high into the 3 x 4-inch bag, add the Snip Corner and Pipe onto the Cupcake sticker to the bag. Add sprinkles (for the frosting) into the small bag.
Here’s how it works:
Snip the corner, Pipe onto the cupcake, add the sprinkles and if included the cupcake topper. So cute!

What a great idea and a great action packed newsletter! Well done.
This looks like something even I can do..and I’m always looking for ideas for things to send my grandkids now that I live away from them.
