Valentine's Party

This year for Valentine's Day I thought I would do a little party with some of Harrison's friends. There are several kids his age at church and most of their moms are Stay-at-Home moms too. We often meet them at McDonald's or other places for play dates. I decided we would do our party Monday before Valentine's Day and invites those friends over for some crafts, activities, games, food & fun. 10 little boys and girls were able to come. Here are some of the fun things we enjoyed . . . although I was too busy during the party to remember to take any pictures.

Our lunch: PB&J sandwiches with strawberry jelly cut into heart shapes, pretzels (because they are hearts as well), strawberry Kool-Aide, and cupcakes.

We played Valentine Bingo. The kids are all around 3 years old, though some are a little younger, and don't know all their numbers, so I designed these bingo sheets with cartoon characters from favorite TV shows and movies they would know. We used conversation hearts as bingo markers.

Our Valentine craft: foam puppy & kitty kits I found at JoAnn's. The pieces had peel & stick on the back so the kids just assembled them.

We colored Valentine's pictures and activity pages.

These were Harrison's Valentines, but unfortunately I did not get them done in time for the party. He had Spiderman ones we bought at the store that he gave his friends with lollipops. We made a few of these later to give some family since I had taken the time to take the picture and they were just too darn cute!

Andrew's first Valentine. One of Harrison's friends fell in love with these tiny rubber ducks and so her mom came up with these cute valentines. The blue M&Ms as bubbles and the ducks were in a little bag with a tag the read "Valentine, you make me just Ducky!"

I gave the boys new outfits for Valentine's Day. These are as much Valentine's day as t-shirts get for boys. I gave them their outfits a day early so they could wear them at the party. Harrison loved his guitar shirt!

Andrew had a little guitar on the front of his onesie and a big one on the butt of his pants.

My little Valentines . . . they have stolen my heart!
