Felt/Magnet Board:

 

This is possibly the cutest magnet/felt board ever! We came in this morning and realized we had NO Valentine's Day magnet board prepared so I quicjkly put this together (in record time) and am in love with it. I got the idea from a felt board the fabulous Storytime Katie. We simple printed out clipart that corresponded with the different animals and stuck them in makeshift envelopes with magnets on the back.

Six Little Valentines

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!”

Craft:

This is a lamb heart craft we did today that we found at First-School. It's easy to print out and easy to assemble!
