We love the characters Thing 1 & Thing 2 by Dr. Seuss. My daughter watches The Cat in the Hat on a regular basis and often asks me what they are (animals, people, etc.). I still have no idea what to tell her. 🙂 For her little preschool class they are exchanging valentines and I knew I wanted to use our new cotton candy machine and when I thought of the blue cotton candy, it just screamed the hair on Thing 1 & Thing 2!

I’ve included the free printable valentines, they aren’t extra fancy, but they work. You do have to sit and cut each circle out (or delegate that to your kids) and that can be seen as either a tedious task, or a great way to improve your kids scissor skills.

Don’t have a cotton candy machine? They sell it at lots of stores, and they even sell Cotton Candy on Amazon or Oriental Trading.
