Heart Card Holders

We started our project off with pre-cut heart shaped paper plates.

Children painted their plate with q-tips.

Once all of the plates where dry we punched holes around 1 full plate and the heart shaped plate so that the children could lace them together with yarn.

Next the children cut out heart shapes and drew faces onto each heart.  The hearts will be placed on their card holders with children's name.

Each heart holder was then hung on each child's cubby so that the children could go down a line and place their cards in each holder. 

 You can find heart learning center activities in the Math and Literacy Fun with Heart Packet.

Mail is in the Air

With valentines around the corn the children have been really interested in sending cards and mail to their friends and staff in the office.  To help them with this experience we set up a post office by the writing area. 

We included ink pads with stamps so that they could cancel out the postage as it came through the post office.  We add a balance scale so the children could weigh the mail before they delivered it.

We placed out different colored house boxes with address so that the children had to sort and mail the mail to the right address.  We have 3 house boxes (yellow, blue and purple).

The children had to deliver the mail (yellow, blue and purple mail) to the right address, by placing the mail in the right colored boxes.

To keep the learning fun going we made an area outside that they could continue the mailing things to their friends.

Making Learning Fun

Tic Tac Toe

We made these simple heart tic tac toe boards for the children and they have been playing endless games of tic tac toe.

Valentine Boxes

Our class has been getting ready for the big day of sharing valentine’s cards. I went to our local pay less shoe story and collected all the discarded shoe boxes. The children have been recycling them into their very own valentine treasure boxes to hold all the many valentine’s they will receive.

These cute little hearts have been popping up in the creative art area.
