Since it was perfect time to do Valentine activities so we did our Letter of the week for V for Valentine. We read lots of books for Valentine's Day and these books were our favorite:-
Valentine's Day by Anny Rockwell and Lizzy Rockwell
If you'll be my Valentine by Cynthia Rylant
Activities
1. We made stained glass type hearts from crayon shavings. I forgot where I originally saw the idea. First you make crayon shavings by sharpening them in an sharpener. We used pink, red and orange color crayons on a wax paper. Then either fold the same wax paper or cove rit with another wax paper. Iron it and cut heart shapes out of it...Lovely colors and we made a garland and hung it up on our fireplace...R enjoyed it a lot !!
2. We also made Valentine cards for R's classmates inspired from FamilyFun website. We had cut butterflies and flowers from hearts and poped them with a lollipop. It was fun..
3.Heart Picks- I got these heart picks from dollar store and R put these on a floral strofoam. This is great for fine motor skills.
4. V letter poking with a push pin- Again great for fine motor skills
The prints for all the activitie sbelow I got from Confession of a homeschooler.
5. Valentine pattern - .
6. Pre-Writing parctice- Great way to reuse the page is to use thme in a page protector and use washable markers and then wipe it off.
7.Valentine Puzzle- I got from Confessions of a Homeschooler
