HELP... I Need Ideas For a Preschool Valentine's Day Party.?

Question

I am in charge of my daughters preschool class Valentine's Day Party. There is 14 in the class, and they are 3 & 4 year olds. I need to do a craft and 2-4 games and a snack. Any ideas???

Answer 1

100% juice boxes, valentine cupcakes. (Use white frosting, then dip in valentine sprinkles, found at grocery store) If they eat lunch there, you can make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches (Some without peanut butter for allergies) Then get a heart shaped cookie cutter (Found at the dollar store) And cut out heart shaped sandwiches. For the craft, cut out red hearts, and buy some foam cut outs, glitter, stickers and let the kids make valentines for mom and dad. For the game, look at family fun.com. They have tons of ideas.

Answer 4

Snack: cupcakes. You can't go wrong

Craft: make their own valentines. You can use fingerpaints (if you're feeling brave) and stickers, or they can make little clay valentine hearts using the no-bake modeling clay. Putting a handprint in it for mom & dad might be a nice touch. It would make a nice keepsake.
Or... you can have them create a valentine's day card box out of a shoe box. This is good if they're actually going to be exchanging valentine's day cards. Aluminum foil, paper doilies, construction paper, crayons/markers... all things you might ordinarily find in a pre-school classroom, or the parents can chip in a bit for supplies

Games: Musical chairs, pin the tail on the donkey, a pinata... and don't forget the prizes! You can get really cheap prize packages at Walmart in their gift wrap and cards area... noisy, annoying, and sure to please little people.

Have fun! As long as you keep them occupied, you'll be fine. Load them up with sugar, and send them home!

Answer 5

Are they bringing Valentines for each other? If they are, then your project could be letting them decorate Valentine Card Boxes to hold them all.

For a snack, make strawberry jell-o and cut it into hearts using a cookie cutter. Maybe make red rice krispie treats with pink & white frosting drizzled on them. Have them make "Love Bugs" out of marshmallows & pretzels. The pretzel sticks are the legs, the marshmallow is the body, and then they can decorate it with candy and other objects.

For games, get red and pink balloons and have a relay race with the balloons between their legs. Maybe have them play an age-appropriate form of Bingo. Make little cards with pictures that are Valentine's Day related and have them use candy hearts for game pieces.

Answer 6

Get some card stock and glue valentine colored or themed paper to both sides (you can do this ahead of time to prep for project). Then help the kids cut out different sized hearts. The cut a couple small (1 inch) slits in each heart and fit them together to make a valentines sculpture.

For a treat, make "love bugs" out of a ritz cracker covered in pink-dyed cream cheese, with straight pretzels for arm and legs, raisins for spots.

Answer 7

Snacks- A more healthy and fun theme - make Valentine's Day Friendship salad - which is really fruit salad that each child or group of 2 children gets to add their ingrediant to - then they all mix it up and it represents their frienships together- to make it easy- pre-cut fruit & store in zip lock bags - and you could take heart shaped sugar cookies to go along with it. Or graham crackers and pink cool whip ( by adding food coloring) -

Crafts IDEA #1- there are a million heart ideas you could do- One of my favorites is making "love bugs" - create the luv bugs out of heart shapes - get foam heart shapes from the craft store - you make the shape of a butterfly by using two hearts as the wings - make a caterpillar by adding hearts to each other in a line - or you can create a lady bug with the heats shaes too - and have the kids add googly eyes or draw eyes, nose , mouth... They are CUTE! To make this idea easy with a group of that size- I pre - package everything that one child needs in a zip lock and hand out a craft " kit" to each child - then put a bunch of extra little heart shapes, glue, markers and things to decorate with in the center of the table so they can get creative...

Games can be simple such as make up variations to games they already know - instead of red light green light - play hearts ( means go)and flowers ( means stop) or something like that where each word you say means go or stop.

Activity IDEA #1 with craft & story- Have a Hershey Kiss scavenger Hunt around the room - evrybody has to find four kisses.... Then read the book- the kissing Hand - perfect for preschoolers or choose another themed book and create an activity around it - If you choose the Kissing Hand book- you can have each child trcae their hand and cut it out or precut hand shapes or buy foam ones - Then have them glue a hersheys kiss to it....

You can adapt other stories, too like - I love you as much- and have each child think of things they love... Or come up with ways to say they love their friends- I love you more than the whole wide world- the stars in the sky- more than the sun is bright- etc... YOu'd be surprised what the 3- 4 year olds will come up with!!
