For our Valentines party, we finished making our "Head over Heels" feet print. We laced it then glued our picture onto it. Then we decorated "Valentine Pockets". I thought these were so cute! Unfortunately the are not meant to hold very many valentines, or at least candy valentines. We used our fine motor skills by crumpling white tissue paper and gluing it onto our heart to form a lace look. Then we continued decorating with dollies, stickers and glossy hearts.We read a fun rhyming book called "Rhyme Time Valentine" about a girl who looses her valentines in the wind, however the people who get them are happy to receive them. After playing Valentine Bingo and a snack of "Heart Shaped" toast and strawberry jam, We got our valentines ready to pass out. I know it is easier to put "from ____", however with the children now recognizing their name, kept saying that the valentine wasn't for them because it wasn't their name on it. Some of them even recognized other's name, and kept trying to give back the valentines to that person. I had to keep explaining that it said "From" that person . Over all I was just proud that they can recognize their name and others too.
Valentines is one of my favorite celebrations. I hope I made it clear that it is important to let those we love know how much we love them and Valentines day is great day to tell them.
