Glow Valentine

There has been more awareness about food allergies the last few years in schools and on Facebook. 
Class parties are trying to keep food allergies in mind by doing activities not based around treats. 

I think it is great so many people are trying to be sensitive to all kid needs and not leaving a child out due to allergies. 

This year I kept this in mind when planning the dragons Valentine's. 
I am all for involving everyone but I am also all for keeping things cheap. 

My dragons love glow sticks so when I found this idea on Pintrest it was an easy pick. 

Materials 

  • Glow sticks (I found them 5 for a dollar at Walmart) 
  • Valentine heart template
  • Hole punch (I only have a three hole punch but either works) 
  • scissors 









I created a Valentine Heart Template for the dragons to cut out and write their names on. 
While they cut I opened all of the glow stick packages. 

Once they finished cutting I put two holes in each heart depending on where they wanted to put their names.  





After they were cut and punched we put the glow sticks through the holes and they were ready to go!

Elephant Faces

Elephant Faces (masks) We used:  Three paper plates Paint or markers Paint brushes Stapler Scissors Yarn First paint the bottom of the paper plate.  While the kids painted I cut the other paper plate in half for the ears. Using the third plate I cut out the textured part of the plate to make the trunks.   Paint (or color) the rest of the pieces.  Staple them together to make an elephant. Cut out small holes for eyes and small holes behind the ears to attach the yarn. Now that the lesson is over I have the masks hanging in the playroom.  They make a neat decoration.

Painting With Squirt Guns

We did this as a Fathers Day project, but it fits in outside play perfectly.   I liked this for Fathers because it was an interactive activity for the kids to do with Jerry to celebrate him and the time they enjoy spending with him. I filled 1 gun with yellow paint and 2 guns with black paint.  The squirt guns we used were from the dollar store and had a decently big hole to pour the paint into.  Some squirt guns have itty bitty holes that make squirting paint into the gun very difficult. Taped off the canvas...and made the kids pose Then the guns were handed to the kids and dad.  Instructions were to shoot the canvas not each other. Very simple. Start squirting!   The squirting went on and on.  I refilled the guns a couple times so the activity could continue.     Jerry also took time with each Dragon to squirt with them.  With a Star Wars theme we were looking at having black as the primary color and yellow as the secondar

Mini Story Boards

Mini Story Boards We used:  Foam Cookie sheets Magnets Paper I found the cookie sheets at the dollar store and loved the idea of the kids telling their own stories using movable magnets.   I cut out flowers with the foam (you can cut out any design and use construction paper instead of foam) and little people then stuck a magnet to the back.  I cut out bugs and stuck magnets to the back of those too.    Then I drew little scenes that would inspire a story and put them on the cookie sheet.  One demonstration and their imaginations took off on their own :)
