Homemade Valentine Bug Cards

We made Valentine Bug cards for our family

First, he cut out folded hearts. I traced an outline and he followed the line.

Next, we wrapped and taped mini Hershey bars with cut paper

You can use any colored or patterned paper for your bug.Then, decorate.

We made a ladybug. We glued antennae (pipe cleaners) on top and glued him onto the heart.

Candy Math

This is a great way to learn Math. In honor of Valentines Day, we are using Sweethearts for our Math lesson. I have 10 hearts of each color in the box. These are some of the things we did.

1. We made a graph of the colors in the bag ( Our bag had mostly purple and only a few greens).
2. I called out colors and he matched it to the same color.
3. Fine motor skills by putting candy hearts in small heart shape.
4. He made color patterns I called out and made some on his own.
5. Count out - If I called out 5, he would count out 5 Sweethearts.
