What do you guys do for v day or what are you planning on doing? Do you make gifts for parents? Do you give treats to the kids? Just wanted to gather a few ideas before the weekend! My group is small, 2 3 yr olds, an almost 2 yr old, and a 1 yr old so I'm not planning anything too extravagant, just enough to make the day special

VALENTINES Ideas?!

I have single moms so we'll make valentines for her. Probably have some heart shaped cookies or rice crispie treats and juicy juice for snack (we never eat stuff like that so it'll be a big deal) read some valentines books. Maybe have a "dance". I have dress up clothes and a disco ball, put on pandora mo town songs. I saw in pinterest where someone mad chocolate scented playdoh. Maybe set up a "sweets shop" with that and some 1$ plastic flowers for the kids to play with.

That's a nice idea to think of the single moms.
I am thinking to do some valentine's activities. I'm planning to do a math/craft, and I am prepping some blank cards out of cardstock etc, along with a bunch of heart shapes in small, medium, and large sizes. I want to talk about small, med, and lg, then let the kids glue stick the hearts and color the inside.
Then I was thinking to lacing heart shapes and maybe let them take them home. I need to find some inexpensive cord for lacing though. Buying shoe laces is kinda expensive if they're taking them home.
I'm just starting the formal preschool thing, so it's pretty new to me to do so many activities.

Roll the glued tip between your fingers and set on a plate, foil, or anything it won't get glued to. Roll between your fingers again after 10 minutes and let it dry. It makes a tip to make lacing easier and costs almost nothing.

We work on the letter V that week, and the color red. That way all the crafts tie in with or lesson. We do the basic heart crafts , we talk about feelings, love, friendship, sharing and thinking of others. Many of our families are Catholic, so we do discuss giving up something for others, in a non religious way ( lent is this coming week). We also discuss our pets ! Because we always end up discussing our pets no matter what the subject ! I think I know how many times everyone's dog poops in the house more than the parents do !!
