This is a simple Valentine
gift that parents will treasure.
Let children wrap a small box or a piece of Styrofoam with wrapping
paper and a ribbon. (It would be
extra special if the children designed their own wrapping paper.) Add this note:
Here
is a little gift
That
you can never see.
The
reason it’s so special,
It’s
just for you from me.
Whenever
you are lonely,
Or
even feeling blue,
You
only have to hold this box
And
know I think of you.
Please
never unwrap it,
And
leave the ribbon tied.
Just
hold the box close to your heart,
It’s
filled with love inside.
Here’s one of my favorite
cards you can make from a flip book.
Fold a sheet of paper in half lengthwise (hotdog). Fold in half again (hamburger). Fold again (juice box).
Open and cut down three creased lines to the center fold as shown. Fold in half to make little flips you
can lift up.
Draw packages as
shown and write the following:
Some
gifts are round.
Some
gifts are tall.
Some
gifts are large.
Some
gifts are small.
Open and write:
But
a gift from the heart is the best gift of all.
*Glue the child’s
photo or let them draw their picture on the inside.
