Continuing from the last post....
Brienna helped Emmalee get her Valentine cards done, while I hot glued the candy cane hearts.
I bought these candy canes on clearance about 1 month ago (left over from Christmas). They were Sponge Bob, Dora, Diego, and a couple of other characters on the wrappers. But I decided this would make the perfect treat for the elementary-aged children, at a fraction of the price of Valentine candy. (less than 2 cents per candy cane, so about 4 cents per candy heart)
Then I rolled out the sugar cookies & the kids took over in cutting them out.
You can see Emmalee's "sick" eyes. (And she was really aware of not spreading germs--she had just washed with soap, cut a few out & then said she was done since her eyes were bugging her again.)
Benjamin took his turn.
He's asking if he could eat a little bit of the cookie dough.
Sunday evening, we decorated the cookies (frosting & sprinkles) & divided them into 3 groups: Emmalee's class, Callum's class (elementary parties) & Brienna wanted to take some to her class. So I took Brienna's cookies to her at the end of science (about 1:15). Then it was off to help at Callum's party. Thankfully I have games that I put together/made when Ethan was in elementary school, so I don't have to re-make (or re-think) games for most parties.
We played Cupid Bingo, pick the conversation hearts out of the bag of beans (blindfolded), & then worked on a word search while they ate their treats & opened their Valentines.
Benjamin had a blast at the party, too.
I hope you all had a great Valentine's Day!!

Yesterday was the first time I had ever seen Cupid Bingo! It is so much fun. The room mother had enlarged it to poster size, then taped on balloons.
Wish our schools would let us bring home made goodies. I miss those days!
Hope you had a wonderful Valentines Day?!
luckily we are small enough (and isolated enough) that I don't think they could exclude homemade goodies--or we wouldn't have goodies at some parties. Since it takes us 45 minutes to get to a store, it's hard to have fresh goodies on hand :D
