As if the ideas on the previous pages weren’t enough, here are three fun projects the family can do together—two sweet treats and an art project—all special enough to gift to loved ones. Get your hands messy and make some fun memories together!

Nothing says Valentine’s Day like chocolate-dipped strawberries! Use white chocolate and red or pink food coloring to create Ombre White Chocolate Strawberries, a unique and modern twist on the classic favorite. Find directions, plus tips on how to dip and store the strawberries, from Oceanside food blogger, The Seaside Baker, at www.theseasidebaker.com/ombre-white-chocolate-strawberries.

These Italian 7-Layer Bars from The Seaside Baker (Jackie Bruchez) look like beautiful petits fours. Jackie insists that even though the recipe seems long, the batter is a cinch to put together—plus, they’re fun to decorate! Find the recipe at www.sandiegofamily.com/things-todo/dining-and-recipes.
