Valentines Day Fun For Kids! by Angela Billings

Share some family fun and get started on the projects listed
below and have them ready in time for Valentines Day.

1.Help kids make their own Valentines using construction
paper, lace, ribbons, sequins, butons, glitter, glue and
anything else they or you can think of to add on!

2.Cut a heart shape from a household sponge and sprinkle with
wheat grass seeds and keep the sponge wet so the children
will have a growing heart. They can even give the hearts
"hair cuts!"

3.Make and decorate cookies or cupcakes. Use your favorite cake
mix and icing and decorate with candy hearts, red hots,
sprinkles and anything else you can think of.

4.Make a Valentine Box by decorating a shoe box with
construction paper or wrapping paper and adding on lace,
ribbons, paper cutouts, heart doilies and anything else in
your craft pile.Kids can then put their Valentine cards in
the box!

5.Use paints or food coloring to make Thumbprint Valentines by
making two thumbprints into a heart shape and then add
facial features . The child then can add the following -
"Thumb Body Loves You!"

6.Play Cupid Chase by putting blindfolds on all but one (He
will be Cupid) Tye a small bell to the childs shoe strings
or on a string for a necklace.Then Cupid runs around the
room anywhere while the blindfolded kids try to to catch him
by listening for the bell.When Cupid is caught the catcher
then becomes Cupid!
