Valentine’s Day is next week (already!) and I’ve got the cards, a little something to surprise everyone in the family already. I’m feeling like I’m prepared. But then the kids reminded me that MOM! We always get Tobey a treat for Valentine’s Day! MOOOOOOOOMMMMMM!
And so when Milk-Bone Dog Snacks invited me to be part of their 10 Days of Treats Campaign, I knew what we’d do for our Tobey. We’d make him a special treat container just for his Milk-Bone Biscuits as a fun Valentine’s Day Gift. Actually, I mentioned it to my daughter, and she immediately had a great idea. Mom, she said, let’s look in the recycling and see what we can use, and then we can use some Duck Tape! (Really, any excuse to use Duck Tape flies in this house. It’s so much fun to play around with!)

I give you the work of my 8 year old and her Upcycled Dog Treat Container!
So, to make your upcycled treat container, you will want to get the following things:
1. A container to hold your treats (clean and dry, of course). We grabbed a rice container because my kids are all under 9 years and they can easily hold this container).
2. Duck Tape in your favorite color/pattern/style
3. A Duck-Taper. This happened to be my 8 1/2 year old, who was the creative brains behind this project.
4. Dog treats (We used Milk-Bone)
Instructions:
Cover container with Duck Tape
Fill Container with Treats
Give treats to your dog.
Once you’ve filled your newly upcycled dog treat container, head to your local store and grab some dog biscuits to fill it!! Easy Valentine’s Day gift for your favorite canine. This Valentine’s Day, when you buy specially marked boxes of Milk-Bone biscuits, you may just find some LOVE inside the box! If you do find a red bone marked LOVE, visit Milk-Bone on Facebook and your little Valen-Canine will enjoy free dog treats for a year! Plus you’ll be entered to win a lifetime supply of Milk-Bone dog snacks and $5,000!

What a cute craft project. My fur babies love their Milk Bone dog treats. That container looks like a great place to keep their goodies.

This looks like a great project, I love that you used recycled materials. My favorite valentines to give are cards, candy and balloons.

Tobey will love having all those Milk Bone Biscuits! Your daughter did a great job. I love that her first thought was to recycle!
Crystal says
What a great idea! I love recycling things and goodness knows that I have tons of dog treats in the house. I never thought about this – might be a great weekend project!
Brandi says
My 12 year old would be doing this for every animal in the house. And probably the strays as well. LOL

What a fun project! Looks like your daughter really got into making it. Looks like it was the perfect container to fit all of those Milk-Bone Treats.
