Valentines Gifts

I like to celebrate the seasons and all the wonderful celebrations that go with them, because the children get so excited when they can participate in something light hearted and fun. They also love giving gifts to their parents and I love to give gifts to the kids!
It's also an excuse to get creative and have a party!

This is what the teachers are giving the kids for Valentines Day!

I created the tag for the front of the gift bag on the computer and printed them off.

Bought some Gummy Worms and Valentines baggies.

I put the worms in the baggies...

...then put them in the gift bags!

Cute eh!

This is the parents gift from the kids!

The snowy hearts which were included in 'the heart book'.

Along with this poem...

Out of a snow cloud, cold and gray,
Something dropped on St. Valentine's Day,
Whirling and twirling and soft and light,
A wee little heart all dainty and white,
And I guess the sky children were sending down,
This Valentine straight to the Moms and Dads in town.

...pasted to a red heart doily.

Then the kids made their foot print - cut it out and pasted them on

a gift bag,with a cute saying!

All set to go!

Happy Valentines Day everyone!

Hand Made Paper Hearts

Today we created hand made paper hearts.

First we tore up our scrap paper into a bowl.

As much as you want.

This was actually fun for the tots!

Some little ones needed some instruction on how to tear up paper.

A handful of paper scraps into the blender with a cup of water.

Puree!

It only takes a few seconds. Don't put in too much at one time - make this in small batches.

Dump into the bowl until you have the amount you want.

Some friends thought the blender was really loud.

Now put down a towel and some paper towel and dump on the paper pulp.

Place paper towel on top and press out some water.

Roll it all up and squeeze tight to drain excess water. You will get quite bit.

Unroll.

See what you have!

Make sure you get it all.

Press into any mold you may want to use.

Presto Our hearts!

It dried still full of colour!
