A platter of heart strawberries is a healthy and sweet Valentine’s day treat! Perfect for class parties, preschool, or school lunches!
If you like these heart strawberries you’ll love these cute tiger mandarine oranges and monkey muffins!

We did the usual 100% juice boxes, a mini cupcake, and a few conversation hearts. I also wanted to add a little something on the healthier side so I brought a platter of heart strawberries. They turned out so pretty and the light in my kitchen was perfect so I did a quick photo shoot before walking out the door 🙂 These would be fun to make for a preschool party, too!
