Plumpy’s Valentine
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I can’t help but think about my Valentine…Sir Charles Rhineholt. Charles is Webkinz World’s foremost historian. He travels, he writes, he gives lectures…basically, he knows all there is to know about the history of Webkinz World. I’m so proud of the things he’s discovered and written about, but it’s too bad that he has to travel so much – I really miss him when he’s not around. We email every day, and I talk to him on the phone a few times a week – but it’s not the same. He spent Christmas with my family, and it was just wonderful. But then, as always, I had to take him to the airport so he could head off on another speaking tour. He said he won’t be home until March, so I’ve got a whole month of emailing and phoning ahead of me. I guess I’ll have to spend Valentine’s Day with my best friend, Wiggles. Not exactly what I had in mind, but I suppose we’ll get some chocolate and watch some silly movies. Maybe Nibbles will join us when she gets back from her little party at Salley’s place.

Alex’s Crush
Hey all, So as you know, I gave Molly a Christmas gift. What you DON’T know is that I never, ever told her it was from me. I just…chickened out, I guess. I’m worried that she won’t be very happy when she finds out that I gave her the gift. Anyway, Valentine’s Day is coming up and I already know what I’m going to get her – a box of chocolates! She LOVES chocolate, and I found the perfect box at the W Shop. I’m going to go pick it up next week. And I’m going to tell her it’s from me – but I’m going to do it in a clever way. I’m going to take all the chocolates out of the box and write a code on the bottom. I’ll put the chocolates back into the box and, as she eats them, she’ll see the code underneath! Then she’ll break it and figure out it’s me! Isn’t that clever? And if she can’t figure out the code, I’m off the hook. She doesn’t find out it’s me, and I can stop panicking every time I see her in … Read more
Roberta’s Craft: Wrapped Valentine Candy Bars
I’m going to take a page out of my friend Alex Tiger’s crafty book and make up some delicious Valentine’s Day Candy Bars. These are super-easy to make, and totally fun to give (and get!). What you need:Miniature chocolate bars (or, if you’re feeling REALLY generous, full-sized ones), construction paper, glue stick, scissors, glitter or stickers What you do: Create a wrapper for each candy bar. You can do this by measuring the bar and cutting paper that will fit around it. Decorate that paper with different colored hearts or a label. Try using colors that look good together – and are ones that you’d see on Valentine’s Day. Using your glue stick, attach the label or hearts. Add stickers or glitter to your wrapper. Write on any messages that you’d like to share. Wrap the wrapper around the chocolate bar and secure it with glue. Give one out to all your friends this Valentine’s Day.
Roberta’s Valentine: Sweet Butterfly
Roberta here with another fun Valentine’s Day craft! The big day is less than a month away, so I’m getting SUPER excited. Today’s craft is very easy – but totally cute! What you need: Wrapped sticks of gum (one per friend), construction paper, heart stickers, stick-on wiggle eyes (or stickers you can use for eyes), markers What you do: 1. Cut out two hearts from the construction paper. Stick them on your wrapped piece of gum, securing them in place with stickers. 2. Add stick-on wiggle eyes or other stickers as eyes. 3. Decorate the wings with markers and stickers. Write your friend’s name on the back of the wing. 4. Pass these out to your friends on Valentine’s Day – they’ll LOVE them!
Roberta’s Craft: Lovely Valentines
I know Valentine’s Day is still a few weeks away, but the truth is: it’s one of my very favorite holidays! I like to be well-prepared, so I’ve started making my Valentines early! Here’s what I’m doing this year: Roberta’s Valentine’s Treat bags. Everyone in my class is going to get a whole bag of cute treats. That’s why I’ve got to start now! First up, a bookmark! Our teacher, Miss Daisy, is always encouraging us to read more. This will help the kids in my class keep their places! What you need: Red, pink and white cardstock, scissors, glue stick, sparkles, stickers What you do: Cut out one red or pink heart per bookmark. The heart should be about 3 inches tall and two inches wide at the widest point. Cut out one white heart per bookmark. The heart should be about 2 inches tall and one and a half inches wide at the widest point. You’re going to glue most of your white heart to the pink or red heart. You’re just going to leave the pointy, bottom part … Read more
Salley’s Valentine’s Party Problem
I’m having a bit of a problem. See, Valentine’s Day is coming up and Stoogles is convinced that we should have a Valentine’s party. Which would be fine, if we were going to have it in the forest at his house. But NO! He wants to have it in town, at my house. Which wouldn’t be a problem if my mom was going to be home and able to chaperone. But she won’t be! She has a late meeting at work that night. I told Stoogles that we can’t have a party at my house without my mom there, but he said we’ll be really careful and only invite our closest friends. He asked if Mom would object to the ‘Kinz coming over. I said no, and he said, “What about the ‘Kinz and a few of their closest friends?” I said probably not, but I’m really worried about what he means by ‘closest friends.’ I keep trying to convince him to do it at his house, but he said his family wouldn’t appreciate the noise in the house, and it’s too cold out for an outside party. How do I convince him … Read more
