| Valentines Day Card Holders |
These are the Valentine Holders we do every year to collect Valentine cards in. Super cute right?
 |
| And we line them along our bulletin board in the hallway so it is easy to walk along and drop the cards in. I also have them write about what they LOVE ABOUT THEMSELVES. It’s a hard assignment for most kids. But an important one. |
Start by taking a rectangle piece of butcher paper from the rolls. Then fold up the bottom to make the heart pointed bottom.
 |
| Then staple the Valentine Holder together, just the top pieces at the seams. I usually staple twice on each one. |
Next, cut 2 rounded edges along the top of each one. I do all of these steps for the kids or I get a mom helper to do it a week before Valentines day.
 |
| This is one of my centers on Valentines Day….filling the hearts of your friends. So sweet! |
I usually choose the colors of red, pink, purple (2 shades) and white. The kids get to choose which color they like. We make 1 for the principal and 1 for the teacher to. That’s me. LOL.
 |
| Then we decorate them with stickers, die cut punch outs, copied heart designs on colored paper etc. The kids get to choose whatever they like. Some years I buy small doilies too in heart shapes. |

Another game we do is HOT POTATO HEART, using a small stuffed heart to pass around. When you are out you get to choose a treat from a bag of treats.
Here everybody is being silly for the camera, playing hot potato. Then as part of this center we also make a heart bead bracelet using pipe cleaners and pony beads. I usually have bought some special heart beads of some sort too.
 |
| Hi MOM! Happy Valentines Day! |
This year I found little metal penguins and hearts and star beads to add to our bracelets. Kids just did their own bracelets
 |
| I had to show you my cute decorations at home that I put up. |
 |
| I love Valentines Day Decor! So sweet. |
 |
| And we decorate the classroom pretty good for Valentines Day too! |
The 3rd center is decorating a Valentine cookie with frosting and candy. Here are some finished cookies we made this year.

| All the kids loved decorating their cookies. They were huge so I told them only eat half before lunch. |

The 4th center for Valentines Day centers is Valentines Bingo using conversation hearts as markers.
 |
The heart bowl has cool prizes for winners. Everybody gets a candy prize though, thanks to
the parent helpers who each brought a bag of candy. Yum! |
 |
| The Valentines Party sure was a fun day for everybody. Hope yours was too! |
