Valentine's Day Literature Ideas


 

Valentine Book

Purchase an inexpensive set of children's valentines.  Cover the front
 and back of each valentine with clear self stick paper, leaving a 1/2 inch
 margin around the edges.  Use a hole punch to punch a hole in the top
 left hand corner of each valentine.  For reinforcement, attach small squares
 of self stick paper over the holes and repunch them.  Fasten the valentines together
 with a metal ring.  Then set out the valentine book and let the children have fun "reading" it.

 

Love Book

Make a group book using red, pink, white, and lavender construction paper pages
 cut into heart shapes.  Ask the children to think about people (or pets) they love.
  Have each child dictate an ending for this sentence:  "I love _______"  Print
 each child's completed sentence on a separate heart shaped page and let the
 child add an illustration with crayons or felt tip markers.  Cover the pages with
 clear self stick paper.  Then fasten them together by punching holes in the upper
 left hand corners and inserting a metal ring or a loop of yarn.  Let the children "read"
 their pages to one another before placing the love book in the book corner.
