Last Thursday, Elle threw a Valentine party. While it was definitely filled with chaos, I think everyone also had fun! (thanks to Laura for the photos)
THE PARTY DETAILS
Attendees:
10 3-year-olds
9 moms
6 younger siblings
2 older siblings
Activities:
Photos on the chalkboard wall with sequin heart hair clips (girls) and felt heart pins (boys)
We taped die cut hearts to the chalkboard wall and drew white chalk designs around the hearts. Each child got a hair clip or pin to wear and their picture taken in front of the wall.
Musical Hearts
We put several die cut hearts on the floor and played music while they danced and moved around. Once the music stopped, they had to find a heart. Each time we took away hearts until we had a winner.
Valentine Exchange
Each child brought valentines to give away. We found metal mailboxes at Target in the dollar section for everyone to collect their valentines.
Snacks
It was mid-morning so we wanted a healthy snack. Heart shaped granola bars with fruit leather embellishments, grapes, apples, yogurt and a mini bottle of water.
Decorating Cookies
We rolled out sugar cookie dough on sheets of parchment paper for each child to cut out heart shaped cookies. We baked their cookies while they molded and played with the remaining dough. After the cookies cooled, the frosted and decorated their cookies to take home.
Balloons
We bought mini 6" heart shaped balloons and filled with helium for the guests to take home.

Snack time.
Heart shaped granola bars with fruit leather embellishments. We made homemade granola bars and then cut them out with heart-shaped cookie cutters.
Yogurt with wooden spoon and fruit for dipping. We put vanilla in first and dropped spoonfuls of strawberry yogurt on top to make a heart.
