Valentine sweatshop

Larkin's homework for her speech class was to make Valentine's for everyone in her class (10 kids) and try to write any letters that she recognized in her friends' names. This assignment was right up her alley-she loves arts and crafts and just recently has gotten very interested in letters and sounds in words. When I told her about her homework, I said that I would run to the craft store while she was in class and buy all the materials. She started to cry and begged to come with me so that she could help pick out her goodies. So, at 5pm in rush hour traffic and rain, we headed to the craft store! Talk about a wonderful mother!! :)

On one side of the card she wrote letters she recognized and also an "L" for Larkin, and then the other side she decorated profusely with with hearts, paint, and stickers.

If someone had an "N" in their name, they were guaranteed a whole slew of N's...that is her favorite letter to write!

We made Valentines for all the kids in her preschool class too (11 more Valentines)--so we've been busy at the craft table lately!!
