25 Valentine's Activities and Crafts: Kid's Co-op

You all are amazing!  We're barely halfway through January, and already there were lots of great Valentine's Day ideas linked up to the Kid's Co-op last week.  (Now I have no excuse not to make some cute stuff with my little Valentines.)

• MJ at A Happy Song encouraged her kids to continue the spirit of giving with Valentine mailboxes.
• KC Edventures has 6 easy ways to show your kids you love them including a Valentine's Day scavenger hunt printable.
• Local Fun for Kids has nine crafts and activities for Valentine's Day including Rice Krispie Pops.
• Let's not forget about the littlest Valentines!  You can find eight activities for the babies and toddlers including my personal favorite, Love Bug Footprints, at The Educators' Spin On It.
• Learn how to make a quick and easy Valentine candle at Crafty Journal.
• Make some animals from heart shapes.

I've pinned these to the Kid's Co-op Pinterest Board (and you can find a featured button on my buttons page if you'd like one.)

Thanks so much to everybody who linked up last week!  Can't wait to see what you've got this week!
