This Week's Valentine's Crafts

So my goal for the entire week is to do something each day to celebrate Valentine's Day! It's my FAVORITE Holiday and with all the kids I watch, they absolutely are thrilled to have a craft to do every single DAY this week. Here's a little peek at the things we've done!

Sunday:
Chayce made homemade Valentines for his friends and family. We bought the treat bags for our Valetine's Party, and filled them. Each one is filled with chocolate Teddy Grahams and Red gummy bears. The tag on each bag says, "You're beary sweet". Got the idea from "Family Fun" magazine this month. Chayce had a blast filling the bags and making the Valentines.

Monday:

Today the kids (Chayce & my daycare girls) made "Love Bugs". These were a HIT last year, but we made the wings with construction paper last year. This year is a bit different; we added glitter and a few extra touches. The girls' Love Bugs were pink. Chayce's was white and dressed in a little "Tuxedo". They loved pretending their bugs were flying around. This craft never fails!

Tuesday:

Today we made Heart Wreaths. Very self-explainitory. A simple craft that makes a great decoration for our partry on Friday! This is my favorite craft of them all!


A few ideas for the upcoming days...

Wednesday: Still being debated. Perhaps another heart craft that will help decorate for the party!

Thursday: Kids will make Valentines for their Parents!

Friday: VALENTINE'S PARTY! The "Craft" is to decorate Valentine cupcakes!
