Valentine's Fun

This Valentine's Day family storytime was full of hearts and cute cards. We read the following books:

The Valentine Bears by Eve Bunting
Love, Splat by Rob Scotton
Louanne Pig in the Mysterious Valentine by Nancy Carlson
Ruby Valentine Saves the Day by Laurie Friedman

We used the flannel board for "Valentine Tree Rhyme" and "Colorful Hearts." Valentine Tree comes from the book Best of Totline and a great example of it can be found here: http://busycraftingmommy.wordpress.com/2012/01/20/valentines-day-flannel-friday/ For colorful hearts I handed out a large amount of different colored hearts and then sang:
"If you have a red heart,
a red heart, a red heart,
If you have a red heart,
put in on the board."
I continued with all the colors until we had no hearts left.

We finished with a heart pop-up card craft.
