Today was our Valentine's Day Party in pre-k!
The craft I love the most of any we do is hand prints.
Can you imagine having a bunch of these and making a t-shirt quilt for your kiddo with his hand prints all over it??
To make these shirts, we fold each shirt with a piece of paper in between the front and back of the shirt so that the paint doesn't leak through to the backside of the shirt. That also gives us a place to write the kiddos names. Place a small heart on the shirt, where the middle of the palm is going to sit, and paint their cute, chubby little hand red. (We use acrylic paint so that it will be permanent.)
Center their hand over the heart and push...make sure that you press hard enough to get complete coverage.
Lift the hand directly up...and VOILA! Cute hand print!
Leave the heart on the shirt until the paint is dry so it doesn't leak under the edges.
And when you remove the heart...you have this! Precious!
We printed off the "Blowing you Kisses" topper HERE...
And we bought the little bottles of bubble at the dollar store in packs of 6 (they were the wedding bubbles.)
We made good use of our construction paper and cut out a bunch of red and pink hearts...
...and the kids glued them onto white lunch sacks to make a simple Valentine's Box.
At the end of the day...parents came and we played a game of Valentine Bingo. We got the free download from Jamie over at
Finally (whew!) each kiddo decorated their own heart shaped cookie (from Costco) with pink frosting (spread with craft sticks) and topped with conversation hearts.
Now I'm ready to go fall into a sugar coma!
Happy Valentine's Day, y'all!
XOXOX, Andrea
