8 Fun Valentine's Day Crafts to Do With Family

Valentine's Day Crafts

Admin February 06, 2018 0

GRANDVILLE, Mich. ––Valentine's day is about showing your loved ones that you care, but it's more importantly about spending quality time together. It's not just a holiday for couples, but for families alike. As families, we spend lots of time together even though a lot of it isn't quality time. You can use Valentine's Day as the perfect opportunity to do something fun and carefree together. It could be a nice dinner out, an outing downtown, or even some fun activities inside, especially since this Valentine's Day will be another cold one. We've come up with 6 fun Valentine's Day crafts to do with the family that can be done inside and that will make this holiday a memorable one, together!

1. Heart Penguin Craft

These cuties are made with simple construction paper! All you need is construction paper in blue, black, white, yellow, and red/pink, safe scissors, and glue. Get creative and have your kids decorate the background!

8 Fun Valentine's Day Crafts to Do With Family

2. String Heart Yarn Cards

Remember string art? It has made a comeback, and is the perfect craft for children! These require some thick card stock paper, colorful yarn, and a large threading needle.

3. Finger Painted Love Sign

For variation, you could even use an XO or a heart shape for similar relief effect. This project requires cardboard, tape, paint, and a canvas or paper.

4. Rainbow Heart Suncatchers

These jewel like sun catchers are both fun to make, and lovely to keep on your windows especially during the grey winter months. For this craft you'll need plastic sheet protectors, scissors, tissue paper, paint brushes, and mod podge.

5. Popsicle Stick Picture Frames

This is a craft that can be customized to any holiday or occasion! They require popsicle sticks, paint, glue, and any other decorations you might want like puzzle pieces, jewels, etc. Then fill with a photo or hand drawn message.

6. Tic Tac Toe Snack Craft

This one if both a craft AND a snack, and we think that's the best sort of combination. Not to mention you get a fun game out of it, too. Good luck not eating these cute boards before playing!

7. No-Sew Heart Pillow

Your kiddos can be extra creative with this one! Take a trip to the craft supplies store, let them choose a fun fleece fabric & add rhinestones, puffy paint, or whatever else their little hearts desire.

8. Wax Resist Valentine's Day Cards

Use this craft to make cards, or art that you can hang up around the house! All you need is some card stock or watercolor paper, watercolor paints, and a white crayon.

Note that these kids Valentine's Day crafts can get messy, so make sure to set-up for an easy cleanup; similar to doing regular maintenance on your vehicle to extend its life. If your car is reaching the end of its life and is becoming unreliable, it may be time to breakup and move on to a shiny new valentine vehicle. We'd love to help you find the perfect vehicle for you, your family, and all your adventures together.

Honda Accord Hybrid Gets an "A" in Cars.com 2017 Car Seat Check Honor Roll

West Michigan

Admin October 13, 2017 0

GRANDVILLE, Mich.,–– Last month, in conjunction with school starting back up, Cars.com released their annual car seat ratings. This year, they tested 65 models and only 10 came out with "required" grades, or A's in each category tested. We're so happy to see the 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid got an overall "A" in the Cars.com Car Seat Check Honor Roll!

Certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians from Cars.com took on the daunting task of testing the 65 models with a few types of child car seat and investigating the latch system. These technicians took into consideration the ease of installation, because they understand the importance of a good user experience. This all leads up to the 2017 Honda Accord Hybrid getting an A.

As you can see in the photo above, Cars.com testes the Latch system, infant seats, rear-facing convertible, forward-facing convertible, booster seats, and third-row access if applicable. The spacious back seat in the 2017 Accord, easy-to-use Latch system for seating, and incredible fuel economy should put this vehicle at the top of your list for family sedans.

At RiverTown Honda, we realize safety is one of the most important factors our buyer look for a new vehicle. We're proud to sell a brand that's just as dedicated to engineering safety as we are to providing it for consumers in West Michigan. You can learn more about Honda's most advanced safety and driver assistive features, including the Honda Sensing suite, on our website or stop by our dealership to learn more! If you're interested in the 2017 Accord Hybrid, shop our inventory online, and stay tuned for the arrival of the 2018 Honda Accord - coming October 18th!

Firework Safety Tips for the Fourth of July Weekend

Weekend

Admin June 27, 2017 0

GRANDVILLE, Mich.,––The Fourth of July is just around the corner, and now is the time to prepare! Because the Fourth falls on a Tuesday, that leaves many families with a long weekend for traveling, relaxing, and setting off fireworks to celebrate the holiday. It can be nerve wracking to do fireworks at home with little ones and pets around, because they can be loud and dangerous. There are some basic firework safety tips you and your family can follow for the Fourth of July weekend to keep everyone safe and happy.

Firework Safety Tips for the Fourth of July Weekend

1. Light One Firework at a Time

While you may want to set them all off at one time for a grand spectacle, it's better to be safe and light one at a time. This will allow you the time you need to move away from the lit firework quickly, and your crowd the chance to enjoy each and every firework!

2. Light Fireworks Away from Your Home

If possible, take your fireworks to the backyard or a nearby open field to reduce risk of fires or other accidents. The further you can light fireworks from your house or other buildings, the better! Make sure your audience is sitting far away from where the fireworks are being lit as well.

3. Only Allow Adults to Light Fireworks

It can be tempting to let your children help with lighting the fireworks because it's exciting and you want them to be involved. You can avoid the risk of injury by only allowing adults to light the fireworks. Even little fireworks like bang snaps and sparklers can be dangerous for little ones to handle.

4. Never Re-Light Dud Fireworks

If you light a firework only to find out it's a dud, leave it be. You can either throw it in your water bucket or let it rest where it landed to make sure it's safe. Either way, there was something wrong with the dud in the first place and it could cause you more danger to try and make it work.

5. Keep Your Pets in a Quiet Place Throughout the Weekend

Pets have sensitive hearing and can often become anxious with fireworks or other loud noises. Wherever you travel this weekend, be kind and provide your pet a safe, quiet place for them to be. You can also try using a Thunder Shirt or lavender paw balm to help calm nervous pets.

6. Never Bring Your Pets to a Firework Show

You may want to share an awesome firework show with your furry friends, but again, it can be anxiety inducing and very scary for them. Do your best to make them feel comfortable, safe, and loved and never bring them to a firework show.

7. Keep a Metal Bucket and Plenty of Water Handy

If you're lighting your own fireworks at home, even small ones, keep a metal bucket and plenty of water handy. Use the metal bucket to put firework remains or duds in, and use the water to douse hot fireworks or sparklers as needed.

8. Go to a Local Fireworks Show!

You can let the professionals handle the fireworks, and enjoy a big show by attending a local fireworks show. There's one right in Grandville on the 4th of July at the Middle School at Dark! There will also be other fun activities in the City of Grandville for you and the family to enjoy this weekend.

We hope these firework safety tips for the Fourth of July weekend help keep you, your family, and your pets safe and happy this holiday! If you're traveling for the holiday, make sure to have your oil changed, tires inspected, and fluids topped off before you leave. We can help with all of this and more at RiverTown Honda. Check our available coupons, and stop by our Express Service Lane with or without an appointment for services in 90 minutes or less. For even more tips on how to maintain your car for safety on the road, check out our routine maintenance tips and Summer Car Care advice.
