V is for Valentines

I do a preschool playgroup with some friends.  We meet once a week and focus on a different letter each week. The kids love it and it has been quite a fun thing for me too.  If you need an opportunity to meet other moms... host something!  Anything you want!  1 - its gets you to clean your house (I always need some sort of reason!) 2 - there is something you can hold over your children's heads  3 - its winter and who doesn't need an excuse to get out of the house?  4 - It means you can make cute crafts, sing silly songs, eat good snacks and best of all just hang out and talk to other moms.
This weeks rundown...
Using a heart shaped bean bag the kids are going to play "Boolah Boolah."  The bean bag will be hidden by a "V" object and the kids will take turns finding the different "V" things as we sing louder or softer when they get closer or farther from the bean bag.

We'll practice some zip zag lines to get them ready for writing the letter V and we'll use some Popsicle sticks as well as markers and paper to make the letters.

Since its Valentines Day they will be making some cute monster valentines to feed the monster valentine box.  See THIS link for the box idea.  The monsters are from letteringdelights.com  
We'll be singing songs too and making another craft but my friend is in charge of those sections this month so if you want song and craft ideas you'll have to wait until next month when I am in charge.
Happy Valentines!
