My Book Tie-Ins of the Week:

The little girl named Cornelia Augusta in The Day It Rained Hearts by Felicia Bond is amazing. She takes to the time collect hearts that rain down one day and she uses them to create wonderful valentines for each of her friends.

I love how Cornelia Augusta takes the time to send cards to the people she cares about not only the year hearts rained down but, every year after that.

The children in Anne Rockwell’s Valentine’s Day create wonderful valentines for a classmate that has moved far away. Each child decorates their card with a memory they have that is tied to the student.

What a wonderful way to share memories with a friend and let them know they are important.

I loved getting to see what each child picked and how they decorate their card to represent their memory.

What did we do?


Card Making

I cut six pink and two green hearts out of the tag board. JDaniel was able to push the pink heats up the lollipop stick to create a petal effect.
We added the green hearts as leaves with a Valentine message on the largest leaf.
 
This lollipop man is so easy to make. You just cut four small slits in the old playing card for the red pipe cleaner through. A simple heart is a head and a lollipop is placed in one of the hands.
Here are some of the cards we decorated. I colored in the robot and JDaniel put stickers around the heart on these cards.
Hearts 4 Kids
Our local radio station His Radio is sponsoring a program called Hearts 4 Kids. We sent our cards that didn’t have candy to that project. The project is open until Feb. 6th at midnight. .
Surprise a Neighbor
We took the cards with candy to the older lady that lives next door.
