GiGi gave the kiddos some Valentine books when she was here a couple weeks ago.  Today we read Be My Valentine, and made some Valentines together.  We had started yesterday during preschool, but with the dancer being the youngest, she needs a little more help.  We’re making our cards from found objects: mostly scrap paper and magazines.  This is a time where I have to remind myself that it is the process and not the result, that is important.  These are truly their creations. 

Be My Valentine is a Strawberry Shortcake story and gives lots of Valentine ideas:

• recipes
• maps
• poetry
• cookies
• crafts

All great ways  to show our loved ones that we care.  We’ll have to write one of these tomorrow.
