Bread Stick Valentines

Description

Bread sticks make great dinner side dishes and great craft materials. Let the kids make their own shapes or surprise them with your special creations. We like to make hearts, but you can shape your dough into anything — first name, initials, flowers, animals, unique designs, even monsters!
