These crayons are nothing new. But kids love crayons- and when they are in heart shapes with rainbow colors- they love them even more. The first few things here I put in little baggies for my Valentine to my preschoolers.
Last year I made chocolate playdough- which smells delicious but looks grose. This year I had Valentine colored playdough already- so I just taped a little heart paper around it- so now it is Valentine playdough. The boys will just have to deal w/ the colors- cause these are the colors of the holiday.
My kids are constantly getting in my pipecleaners, so we are always making things out of them. I found this idea on Make-n-Takes. To make it go further, I used these to tie the treat bags- which contained the above items and a little candy.
I love this! I made snowflakes last year out of cardboard tubes- and so I was playing around with them today- and made it into a heart. No tape- just crease it in the shape of a heart and ta-da!
We all love a good collage. We will be doing this one for our party- using cut up Valentine's Day tissue paper- from the dollar store.
I saw this idea in Family Fun Magazine- but they had painted the doily on a t-shirt- and it turned out very cute! I will not be doing this one-cause I have to tell you- it is messy~! And preschoolers are already messy! This would be fun with older kids.
Use up your leftover candy canes to decorate cookies- with heart shapes. You can melt candy canes together to form a heart too.
Happy Valentine's Day! My kids think this is the "best day ever" -- next to Christmas. Silly kids~!
And lastly, I came across this message on my blog from September 2009. I think it is perfect for Valentine's Day.
thanks for reading! Make sure to tell the people that matter most to you that you love them!
