This week we continued with the letter V- for VALENTINES!
Finding hidden Valentine's all over the house!
And matching them on the Valentine sheet.
Tracing her name... she can actually write this by herself when prompted step by step, but her tracing skills need lots of work!
VALENTINE "button snake"- Great idea from Counting Coconuts! First, Scarlett used the felt hearts and made the pattern- red, pink, red, pink...
Then she had to put button through the felt hearts (on a cute valentine ribbon, I might add...) Scarlett called it "dressing the snake in clothes" LOL!
She gets very serious about this- I love it!!
Tying into the book we made GG and Poppi a "Mosaic-like "Valentine Sun-catcher... I have seen this on LOTS of blogs... but we just sort of through this together- Contact paper and construction paper with a heart cut out of it.... Then we tore up some tissue paper and she placed it all over the sticky contact paper heart. Later I put a piece of that cute ribbon (like the one from above) on the top of the heart so it could hang like a sun-catcher.
They turned out cute and it was mailed off to Orlando! Scarlett loves to mail things and to get mail too!! :)
We had our Pray and Play group over on Wednesday- so we made some blueberry muffins and some banana nut muffins as well. Scarlett helped cook and decorate them with some very cute heart picks.
a VERY snowy Thursday in DALLAS-- so we did LOTS of playing!!
And while we were snuggling to stay warm inside there was quite a bit of....
TICKLING!!!
HAPPY VALENTINES DAY-- WITH MUCH LOVE, FROM MY FAMILY!
XOXOXO,
