for Valentine's Day
 Valentine's
Day is a fun holiday. Here is a day that gives people the chance
to bring smiles and laughter to life. Children especially love
to make people happy. They also love parties, games, chocolate,
presents, flowers, cards...
Valentine's
Day Recipes
Today,
even small children enjoy this yummy holiday. Parents can help
their children with any tricky parts, but cookies are simple enough
to bake with help. Nestle Tollhouse Cookies are delicious and
you can combine a couple of different flavors together and make
one huge
heart shaped cookie!
Pretzels,
chocolate kisses, and M & M's make an amazingly delicious
treat called "Chocolate
Spots" that are so simple to make!
What
about heart shaped cupcakes with red and white frosting? After
you pour the batter into the cupcake holder, place a small marble
between the wrapper and the pan to make an indent - and create
an instant heart shape! (Don't forget the red or pink Kool Aid
or fruit punch to wash it all down).
Valentine's
Day Games
There
are tons of fun and simple ideas for games that are great for
parties at home or in a classroom setting. Little candy hearts
are a popular idea and are also useful in more than one game.
You can use them to see who can stack the tallest tower of candy
hearts, you can use them to play Valentine
Bingo, you can fill a jar with them and see who can guess
how many are in the jar.
Traditional
games also can be transformed into a Valentine's Day version.
Instead of pin the tail on the donkey, play pin the arrow on cupid
- or pin the heart on the bullseye.
"Duck,
Duck, Goose" can become "Cupid, Cupid, Run!"
Valentine's
Day Crafts
One
of the simplest crafts to make for children is a paper heart.
Make several sizes and colors and glue them together to make a
multi-layer valentine! Tissue paper scrunched together makes a
beautiful rose! Twist a pipe cleaner into a heart shape and string
it on some yarn and you have a one-of-a-kind necklace!
This
Valentine's Day enjoy teaching your children how to make others
laugh and smile. Take the pressure off yourself - and your kids!
- with ideas that are quick, easy, simple and fun...
