Valentine’s Day is approaching fast! Before we know it, February 14th will be here in all its red, pink and white fun. While Valentine’s Day is often a day for love and relationships, it is also a great day to tell friends just how much they mean to us. Thanks to Nickelodeon, there is one character that loves to show his friends how much he cares about them and that is SpongeBob SquarePants.

Whether it be Gary, his pet snail, Patrick the Star, or Squidward, his neighbor, SpongeBob always lends a helping hand and some kind, and often weird, words of encouragement. With his perfectly kind attitude, SpongeBob SquarePants is a great idol for the season.

To celebrate the season of friendship and love, Nickelodeon shared some fun Valentine’s Day printables featuring everyone’s favorite sponge that live in a pineapple under the sea, SpongeBob SquarePants. The first collection is a coloring book boasting 9 unique SpongeBob and Valentine’s Day themed printable pages. Find SpongeBob and Gary hugging, SpongeBob as cupid, SpongeBob surrounded by little hearts and more! With enough pages for family and friends to enjoy, this printable coloring book is a must for any SpongeBob SquarePants fans.

The SpongeBob SquarePants Valentine’s Day Cards provided by Nickelodeon Parents takes friendship to an all new level with funny and sarcastic sayings. There are six cards that will make anyone laugh upon receiving one.

  1. You Like Me, Don’t You, Valentine?
  2. I’d love you even if you were so ugly that everyone died.
  3. You give me butterflies …or the pie I just ate was a bomb!
  4. No matter what I’ve said, I’ve always sort of liked you
  5. We’re like brothers, only closer
  6. Roses are blue, Violets are red, I have to go to the bathroom

I think number 3 is hilarious. To grab the cards, click the image below and download the PDF. Then print, create and hand out to your friends and family.

DIY Cardboard Trucks Inspired by PAW Patrol Rescue Wheels!

With PAW Patrol Rescue Wheels out on DVD just in time for the holidays, Nickelodeon has released a craft the whole family can have fun with. These DIY Cardboard Trucks make perfect places to store toys or wrap fun gifts like a gift bag! They only take a few supplies and a little family time to create! Follow the instructions below to start the Rescue Wheels adventures!

To make the Cardboard Trucks you will need:

  • 1 Large Cardboard box
  • Paint or Construction paper in your favorite color
  • White paint or construction paper
  • Black Paint or construction paper
  • Glue or glue gun
  • Paper plates or black construction paper
  • Twine, string, or ribbon,
  • Scissors
  • paint brush (Optional)
  • Large black Marker (Optional)

To Make:

  1. Grab a Medium to Large Cardboard box. I know I may get in trouble for saying this but a Medium USPS flat rate box is a fun one to use. It is long and thin.
  2. If you went went with paint, pain the outside of the box in the color you chose. If you chose construction paper, cover the entire box in construction paper using a glue stick.
    Your box should be one solid color now.
  3. To make the wheels, take the paper plates and paint them black, or take sheets of costruction paper and cutout large round circles, about 7 inches in diameter. Like most vehicles, you will need 4 wheels. Feel free to take some white paint and make rims or other details found on a trucks tires. Get creative.
  4. Take the short flap that is at the top of the box and paint it white. This will be the windshield
  5. Take the two long flaps next to the windshield, and bend the corners inward to create an angle. Glue the folded corners to the back of the windshield flap. Use a hot glue gun for best results. Use white to make side windows next to the windshield.
  6. Using black paint, a big black marker, or black construction paper, add smaller details to the Truck. Maybe add a ladder, radiator, outlines, doors, and more. Use that imagination.
  7. Glue the wheels to the side of the box near the bottom. If you want to take this craft a step further, use thick cardboard to make the wheels. Then use a grummet to attack the wheels to the box. This will allow the wheels to spin.
  8. Poke holes in each corner at the top
  9. Put a piece of string or twine from front to back and tie on each side.
  10. Print some paw patrol logos and glue them to the truck.

The DIY Cardboard Truck is now done! Enjoy the new creation!

To download the instructions click the image below an save the PDF to your computer. Then print and create!

NOTE: All cutting and hot gluing should be done by an adult. In fact, this entire craft must have adult supervision.

Po’s Holiday Almond Cookies Recipe

One of my family’s traditions is to watch the Kung Fu Panda Holiday Special on Christmas Eve. It’ i’s a fun movie that reminds us what the holiday is really about: time shared with family and friends. The movie features Po as the Dragon Warrior. He is still adjusting to his role and unsure on where his priorities lie. While struggling with what is right and where he should be during the holidays, he attempts to throw the epic Winter Feast at the Jade Palace.

However the Winter Feast isn’t what Po hoped it would be. It was cold, boring, and lacked festive fun. In realization that what he truly missed was spending the holiday with his dad, he leaves the feast. This, of course, is dumbfounding to Master Shifu, but Po always does what he wants or needs to do. The rest of the feast members follow suit and join him and Mr. Ping (Po’s dad) at the noodle shop, where everyone enjoys the best holiday ever.

Grab Kung Fu Panda Holiday on DVD from Amazon.com )affiliate link) to make this a part of your tradition as well.

This message is fantastic and one of the more adorable moments in the Kung Fu Panda franchise.
