Valentine school parties will warm the hearts of elementary schools around the country this week. They are simple and easy to organize, even at the last minute.

You need parents that are willing to be on duty for an hour or so. Plus parents who can’t be there but are willing to send in items.

Divide up the party into four sections: Food, Craft, Game, and opening Valentine Cards.

Food:
Yum cookies and ice cream!
Have enough heart shaped cookies so each child can have two.
Ready made frosting, pink and red candies, sugar crystals conversation hearts…
Small Ziploc bags (They will enjoy decorating more than eating.)
Plastic knives, small paper plates, paper towels,
Place cookies, spoon of frosting, candies and a plastic knife at each place and let children decorate and eat.
For ice cream treats visit this link: Teaching your child to follow directions is a life time 101 skill

Games:
To whom do these lips belong?
Make a pattern for a large heart on scrap paper or a sheet of newspaper. Fold the paper in half. Draw one half of the heart. Cut out the pattern and unfold it.
Place pattern on red poster board and trace around it; carefully, with a knife cut an opening in the middle of the heart, just big enough for lips.
Decorate the heart with doilies on the edges of the heart, glitter, writing all the student’s names in random order with black marker on the front.
In the doorway of a classroom tape a piece of paper, (So legs can not be seen) with the heart on top.
Children take turns guessing whose lips are in the heart.

Craft:
A Gift of Love!
This takes planning, if there is a parent that can take pictures of each child before hand it works best.
4 craft sticks for each child, glued together in the shape of a square, add a magnet.
Red and pink paint, markers, glitter, stones, buttons, beans, beads, macaroni, glue…etc…
Each child paints and decorates frame as desired.
Parents attach frame to picture and date.

The last center is easy: Children love their Valentine cards and need time to open them.
Enjoy your Valentine School Party!

February is American Heart Month; it was created to raise awareness of heart health issues. Friday kicked off the month’s events with the American Heart Association’s National Wear Red Day, which is part of the Go Red for Women campaign created in 2004. Let us extend this month’s heart health awareness to our children.

There is no end to what we do for our children; and there is no better place to start than with their dear little hearts. There is plenty to do to keep them healthy. Teaching them how to have an active life style and healthy eating are two great ways to start.

This is a fun contest from author Kaye Dacus. She asked for names to be suggested for her main character Zarah's sister. I suggested Felicity. Please stop by this link and vote for the name Felicity. If you do, I have more chances of winning an autographed copy of her book AND possibly having my name mentioned in i...t! Let me know if you vote so I can thank you!
