Happy Valentine's Day!

Little Adventures Preschool celebrated Valentine's Day on Monday this week.  We started by reading some Valentine stories and then made some crafts from the stories.  We made a game of Tic-Tac-Heart and learned how to play.
 We celebrated A's 4th birthday at snack time with some cupcakes and a song.
 Art time was full of heart shaped handprints
 and Valentine frames.
 The frames served a purpose - they became the targets the all the little cupids got to shoot arrows through.  Take one end of cotton off of a Q-tip and load that end first into the non bendy end of a straw.  Then blow it out!  If you get someone with your love arrow you have to give them a hug!
 It was chaos while the kids where blowing their "Love Arrows" at each other.  They were very entertained by the activity and I need to remember it for next year.
 We continued working on big and little for a bit before moving onto heavy and light.
 We tossed around a light ball for a bit,
 then I pulled out the weights!


Heavy and light is still a tricky concept due to the vocabulary word "light" but we're working on it, and I have a great idea in the works for our class next week to solidify the concept!
