We are going to start planning our Valentines Day & Hearts week. Remember to ask your clients to save any Candy Heart Boxes for you at the end of the Holiday-they can be turned into fun learning games, or props for Dramatic Play next year.

Add plenty of Card Making supplies to your Free Art area this week. Add extra Red, Pink and Purple paint, crayons, and pens. Add Valentine's inspired stamps, Heart Cookie Cutters, and Valentine's stickers. Explore making the color Pink this week.

Spin Art Hearts from Teaching 2 and 3 year olds Valentines Day Suncatcher Craft from Makobi Scribe Chocolate and Strawberry Play dough from Happy Hooligans Valentines Bird Feeders from Kids Craft Room Valentine Relief Paintings from Playground Park Bench Dramatic Play
Create a Flower Shop in your Dramatic Play Space this week. Add plastic vases (you can usually find these at the Dollar Store), Fake Flowers, and Empty Boxes of Chocolates to your space. Don't forget to add a play phone, and note pad for taking orders.
Add a box of Valentine's Decor for them to decorate their Dramatic Play Space. Add a Box of Dress Up Clothes, Pretend Jewelry, and items to set the table for a formal occasion (Tablecloth, Place mats, etc.).
These adorable flower shops belong to our Daycare Spaces and Ideas Community members:
This Flower Shop belongs to Felecia J. of Mrs. Felecia's Playhouse Preschool. She has several "stations" for the children to work at, including delivery!
This Flower Shop belongs to Jamaliah B. of My First School LLC. I love how she re-purposed her market to create this adorable flower shop.
