 Share some
family fun and get started on the projects listed below and have them ready in
time for Valentines Day.
1.Help kids make their own Valentines using construction paper, lace, ribbons,
sequins, buttons, glitter, glue and anything else they or you can think of to
add on!
2.Cut a heart shape from a household sponge and sprinkle with wheat grass seeds
and keep the sponge wet so the children will have a growing heart. They can even
give the hearts "hair cuts!"
3.Make and decorate cookies or cupcakes. Use your favourite cake mix and icing
and decorate with candy hearts, red hots, sprinkles and anything else you can
think of.
 4.Make a Valentine Box by decorating a shoe box with construction paper or
wrapping paper and adding on lace, ribbons, paper cut-outs, heart doilies and
anything else in your craft pile. Kids can then put their Valentine cards in the
box!
5.Use paints or food colouring to make Thumbprint Valentines by making two
thumbprints into a heart shape and then add facial features . The child then can
add the following - "Thumb Body Loves You!"
6.Play Cupid Chase by putting blindfolds on all but one (He will be Cupid) Tie a
small bell to the child's shoe strings or on a string for a necklace.
Then Cupid runs around the room anywhere while the blindfolded kids try to to
catch him by listening for the bell.
When Cupid is caught the catcher then becomes Cupid! Have a Happy Valentines
Day!
