A week of love and friendship - Valentines

Happy Love Week!  This week as we work on Valentines, we will focus on showing love and kindness for others.

Heart-Attacked Preschool - I stuck hearts all over the preschool this morning.  The kiddos had a blast running around finding them all.  Perhaps tomorrow I'll move a few to tricky spots, like under the table and inside toy cubbies.  Hmmm... Oh the possibilities!

Circle Time - Drawing Hearts - I wanted to teach the kiddos how to draw hearts, so they could do so on their valentines this week.  I told them to draw a letter "m" then a letter "v" below it.  Taa daa!



Valentine Mailbox - For the kiddos mailboxes, I simply covered cereal boxes with white butcher paper and let the kiddos decorate them.


Valentines - I set out a bunch of supplies and let the kiddos get to work.  They loved creating cards for each other and putting them in their mailboxes.

Tape Resist Hearts - Ms. Sara taped a heart shape on the kiddo's papers, then they painted all over it.  Once they dry, we'll peel the tape off and hopefully they'll have fabulous hearts hidden there. 

Tree Hearts - I had pre-cut hearts, the kiddos helped me cut a few slits in the middle (by folding them in half) then we hopped outside to poke them onto our "tree" (bush).  They look pretty festive!
 

Outdoor Snowman Experiment Continued - While playing outside in the slush (we've had some rain on our snow) we found our snowman!  He had been covered by new snow and we forgot about him.  Crazy he's still around!  Here is a link to the original post about our experiment.
