Valentines

Valentines Day is only a week away and today's book is a sweet treat to share with no extra calories.
You can read it or sing it!




Set to the tune "Clementine", it follows the many creative ways that a love-struck writer tries to share his feelings with someone special. This is a good introduction to letter writing and a discussion on all the different ways you can communicate something important.
It's also just a sweet story to share on a day dedicated to love.


Art Extension Idea:
Martha Stewart Kids - Making Valentine Cards

Materials: Colored paper, paint, stamps, ink pad, crayons or markers, scissors
 Procedure: Trace your child's hand or paint their hand and let them make a hand print on paper.
Cut out and decorate with stamps, crayons, or markers. Help your child to write a simple message of love on their hand. Share!
