So much fun packed into 45-60 minutes! The line-up for this successful party program started with a story and a song. Because about 1/2 the children attending were between 2-4 I went with a slightly younger picture book: The Shape of my Heart by Mark Sperring and Alys Paterson. Colorful pictures and having the kids name different shapes in the book made it a great interactive book with a big AWE...at the end.
Next up: H.E.A.R.T. song (to the tune of BINGO). I made a Valentine for you. The heart shape says I love you. H.E.A.R.T. It took a couple verses to get into the swing of it because we were so used to singing BINGO. :)
Activity stations:
- Scratch art, I SPY Valentine sheet
- decorate your own bookmark (stickers, variety of hole punchers, and ribbon to go with the pink, red, and purple paint sample strips)
- bubble station with a bunch of different shaped wands
- minute to win it games (stack the hearts and transfer the marshmallows with straws)
- giant floor tic-tac-toe with purple vs. pink hearts and a heart toss game - Bozo bucket style
- a "kissing booth" that was actually guessing how many Hersey kisses were in a jar
- a cookie decorating table (very messy, but yummy) and finally,
- a "Kind Bomb" area to make a sweet note to put in a book for someone to randomly find.
