3. Find a great Valentine's story: Find a couple great Valentine's books for storytime - we love this Valentine's Stories list from Scholastic. Or as the day is all about love and kindness, consider having students read their favorite poems outloud!
4. Whip up super cute Valentine's snacks: As kids are likely to receive an array of candies with their Valentine's, keep party snacks healthy and delicious.
>> Heart-shaped fruit kabobs
>> Chocolate-dipped pretzels w/ sprinkles
>> Heart-shaped finger sandwiches
>> Trail mix with pink and red m&m's
We love these snack ideas from PopSugarMoms and PrincessPinkyGirl too!
5. Capture all the Valentine's party memories: Don't forget to ask a parent volunteer to take pictures and video from the class party too! Room parents can include photos in the class eNewsletter, share with the Yearbook committee or create an online private album for other class parents to enjoy!
