Valentine Fun

 Jason and I returned from Florida just in time for a few Valentine's Day festivities for the kids. All three kids handed out valentines to their school friends. Adley was the only child I got a picture of as she filled out her valentines. She actually filled out small cards for her school friends AND her playgroup friends. She worked hard and was proud to hand them out.

Adley's playgroup met to celebrate Valentine's Day at my friend Brittney's house. Brittney is a former teacher, so she had some fun ideas for the kids! She started by reading a valentine-themed book to the group.

Then, the kids decorated heart-shaped cookies with LOTS of frosting and sprinkles.

Next, we did a little science activity. Brittney had made baking soda molds in the shape of hearts. Each child dripped food coloring and glitter on top of their hearts to make them look festive. Then they used eye droppers to drop vinegar on the hearts. 

The reaction was both colorful and fun to watch!

Our final activity was decorating bags with stickers and handing out valentines to one another.

Since it was a beautiful spring day, we spent the rest of the morning playing in the backyard. What a fun morning with a great group of kiddos!
