Thank you Pinterest! It is easy to lose track of time when I'm browsing the site. Luckily I came across some festive toddler activities for Valentine's Day.
Our first game involved my all time favorite Valentine's Day candy. I had a hard time keeping my hands out of the conversation hearts and it showed up the next day on my scale :( but, as a once a year treat, I will not complain any further (it was totally worth the minor gain :))
I found the pattern in a pdf online and I printed up several different combination sheets.
Okay, so maybe this next game had a little to do with my minor gain too, hmm.. guess I should be honest with myself. These little kisses haven't been spotted in our pantry for over a year. I wrote numbers on the bottom and hid them around the room. Zachary hunted them down like they were Easter eggs. And, then he had to match the numbers correctly on the plate. He earned 2 chocolate kisses for successfully completing the puzzle. Mommy ate her handful watching him hunt candy. Now I wonder if these games were just my excuse to buy these seemingly harmless delights.
Finally, no candy was involved in this activity, the objective of this last game was to put the same number of dots inside the heart that was indicated by the written number outside of the heart.
Also, not pictured are the Valentine's Day cards we made for family & friends. Zachary loved picking out his Jake the Neverland Pirate cards for his friends & family. Also, I made a few other handmade cards to mail out too. I will make a blog post about those cards on my crafty julia blog. So, if you are interested in seeing them head on over, I'd love to share them with you! :)
I hope you all had a blessed Valentine's Day!
