Valentine's Day!

~Pumpkin is currently 18 months old~

Well, we didn't do much for Valentine's Day. I did, however, find some fun learning based activities for Pumpkin to do with a Valentine's Day theme: we made cards out of his footprints for his grandparents, we made some yummy treats, and we practiced working on motor skills: beading!

Here he is, gluing his footprints onto construction paper to make his Valentine's!


Making Berry Gummy Hearts (the recipe is from the February issue of Parents magazine)



And beading! This is a new skill for Pumpkin. We used a purple pipe cleaner and pink and purple beads, to maintain the Valentine's Day theme.





I'm sure there's a lot more we could have done, but as adults, we had a pretty low key holiday, so we maintained that with Pumpkin. He did very much enjoy the Berry Gummy Hearts!
