What it is
A craft party about kindness and friendship. Children make Valentine’s cards, garlands and treat boxes to give to the people they love. Gentle and sweet, and good for a playdate or a club.
Plan ahead
- One week before: buy card, stickers, glitter, doilies, twine and treat boxes.
- The day before: pre-cut hearts in different sizes for younger children.
Activities
- Cards: fold card, stick on doilies, hearts and stickers, and write a message.
- Heart garland: punch holes in paper hearts and thread them onto twine.
- Treat boxes: decorate a small box and fill with sweets for someone special.
- Kindness circle: everyone says one kind thing to the person next to them.
Food and drink
- Heart-shaped sandwiches and strawberries
