Heart Flower Bouquet

Hailey made a cute heart bouquet for Valentine’s Day.

She glued everything together.

The cute Heart Flower Bouquet.

The  next two things we did were from a Valentine’s Day Unit at Musings of Me.

Hailey worked on patterning.

And then she practiced counting and number recognition with “How many kisses does the Valentine bear get?”

Valentine’s Day Monster Craft

This a cute craft for Valentine’s Day- Hailey thought it looked like Mike Wazowski from Monsters Inc, except that it’s a heart.

Hailey cut out one medium sized heart.

Then cut out 4 smaller hearts.

She glued everything together- we used pipe cleaner for the arms and legs.

The completed Monster Heart.
(We probably should have glued it onto something besides red as the pink heart is a little bit hard to see.)

Hailey did a heart sorting activity- she had to put the hearts in order of size.  Then we talked about small, medium and large.  I found this printable at Confessions of a Homeschooler.

I also found this on Confessions of a Homeschooler.  Hailey had to count how many hearts there were and then put the correct number in the square.

Love Bug Craft

Hailey made a really cute Love Bug for a fun Valentine’s Day craft.

She cut out several hearts in pink and red paper.

Then she made a pattern and glued them onto purple construction paper.

Hailey’s finished love bug- cute and great pattern practice!

Hailey did this Cupid Clothespin Match- she loved it!  I got this printable from Itsy Bitsy Learners.  Hailey had to match the numbers on the clothespins with the numbers on the circle.  Not only was this great practice for recognizing numbers, it was also good for strengthening her fingers.

Then Hailey colored this match the picture paper.  This printable and the next one are from Musings of Me Valentine’s Day Unit.

Hailey loves practicing writing her letters and she wrote several words related to Valentine’s Day and worked on recognizing lowercase letters.

Hershey Kiss and Science Experiments

Hailey made a Hershey Kiss for a cute Valentine’s Day activity.  I cut out a Hershey Kiss shape from an old file folder.  Hailey wrapped it in foil and then taped it to the back.

Hailey added some eyes to the kiss.

The finished Hershey Kiss.

We did a little color mixing experiment.  We froze different colored hearts using food coloring.

Then we put the hearts into clear cups, waited for the ice to melt and checked to see what happened.

Once all the ice melted Hailey filled in our color chart to see what would happen when certain colors were mixed together.

Then we did an experiment with snow.  Hailey filled a cool whip container with snow and we brought it inside to see what would happen.

Hailey checked it every hour and made predictions about what she thought would happen next.

Once it was all melted we poured it over a coffee filter to see what would happen.  We talked about why the bowl was full of snow and why the water was much lower and we talked about why there was dirt on the coffee filter.

I took pictures of Hailey checking the snow and wrote down her predictions/comments each hour.  This will be made into a little booklet.
