Happy Valentines Day

Image
By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
My daughter picked out her Valentines and we filled them out yesterday and this morning.  She goes to Awana on Thursdays so she really wanted to give Valentines to her classmates. :) So the rest of the day I will be hearing "is it time to go to Awana yet?"


I also saw a cute idea at Money Saving Mom the other day so we had to try it ourselves.  After nap time yesterday my daughter and I made play-dough.  It was a lot of fun and today we packaged them up for her Awana classmates.  I think they turned out really well.  I was also very excited about the verse the kids are memorizing this week Jeremiah 31:3 "I have loved you with and everlasting love."  It worked perfect for Valentines Day.  


Here are some pictures of our Valentines:






A couple weeks ago we also did some painting of hearts.  Here are the pictures of them:


This is shaving cream with a little paint.  My 3 year old had a lot of fun.

Super cute idea! Thank you for joining our blog hop! I am already a follower and I really enjoy your blog.

Morgueangel - I read somewhere that you can beat shampoo with a mixer like frosting to make it forthy and use that like the shaving cream if that is the part she is allergic too.

These are some great ideas. Thank you for sharing. We've used shaving cream before, I think with food coloring.

Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...
