Storytime--Valentine's Day

The flannelboard rhyme was fun. I had made six colorful flannel envelopes with cartoon pictures of each animal inside them. I had a very small group so I let the kids open the envelopes for me when we came to each one, and they liked that very much. The craft was the highlight for the kids, as usual. This one they thought was silly and had a great time with it. I had all the pieces in pink, red, and purple, so they could mix and match them as they wanted. Splat was the favorite of the books, but Foxy in Love was a great one too.

Valentine's Day

Flannelboard Rhyme

Six little Valentines were sent to my house,
The first one said, “I love you, From Mouse.”
Five little Valentines in my mailbox,
The second one said, “Be mine, Love Fox.”
Four little Valentines full of love,
The third one said, “You are sweet, From Dove.”
Three little Valentines just for me,
The fourth one said, “Be my honey, Love Bee.”
Two little Valentine’s mailed with care,
The fifth one said, “Here’s a hug, From Bear.”
The last little Valentine, from my friend Jay,
This one said, “Happy Valentine’s Day!”
