Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day is right around the corner! This is a great time to explore heart shapes and the colors red & pink with your kiddos! Don't limit the teaching, make it fun!  Play a game with your kids, try to find items in your house, car, at the store, etc...that are red or pink.  Help your child make a list of these items, draw them and then color them.  Spell out H-E-A-R-T, teach the letters. Read books about Valentine's Day, shape books.  Bake come heart shaped cookies, make heart shaped sandwiches, practice cutting out hearts.

There are many things to do, keep it simple, lost cost or free!  Happy kids make happy parents and teachers!
