Beau Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 There are some really sickly ones here. I did think this one was quite cute though. I put my hands together, this is how I start; I curve my fingers right around and I can make a Heart! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HappyMaz Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 (edited) I put my hands together, this is how I start;I curve my fingers right around and I can make a Heart! Lovely idea for a photo card for parents - one photo of each child doing the actions! Maz (would this evidence that a child is able to "Demonstrate the control necessary to hold a shape or fixed position"?)

Guest Posted February 7, 2009 Share Posted February 7, 2009 Doing a full afternoon in reception on Valentines so will be interested in any 'new' ideas, so far I have Play Lucy Locket game only use a section from the poem A-tisket, A-tisket. Child walks around outside of circle with an envelope and whilst song is being sung drops behind a child.When the song is finished chases after the child who dropped it back to their place I sent a letter to my love And on the way I dropped it I dropped it, I dropped it Yes, On the way I dropped it A little girlie/boy picked it up And put it in her/his pocket Mixing dry power paints to make pink Pink play dough and heart shapes cutters and doleys on paper plates Heart shape dot to dot Folds of card with a range of pink, red and white collage materials with laminated 'I love you' cards for making own cards Pictures made from hearts and I love you tracing cards Pink cornflour in the tuff spot A love tree-a branch of tree in a pot with heart shapes. Children to write name of someone they love and hang on tree Make a valentine card and place in blank envelope. When every child has made one I shall randomly put names on them and pop them in their book bags Inside it will say "I love all my friends, this is true.But for my valentine I choose you love from" Snack ideas Heart shape cut out of toast Heart shape jam sandwiches Strawberry milkshake Small heart of cheese slice on cracker I shall read this on our IAW With Lots of Love Hans Wilhelm and in book form Pander and Gander-The Secret Friend by Joye Dumbar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 11, 2009 Share Posted February 11, 2009 Many thanks everyone I found the sickly site too and had pretty much overlooked everything but I used that little rhyme - and happymaz's great idea - I took photo's of the children attempting to make the heart shape (actually a real challenge for my 3's and under!?!) and stuck them onto little red hearts. The children then chose -someone they loved to write inside and we hung them on the love tree (thanks biccy) - another lovely idea - lots of thanks I also found a book by joyce dunbar called the loveme bird which is great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
