Just Add Stickers

Little Miss will be starting kindergarten next September. We're practicing letters and fine motor skills such as gluing and using scissors. I did the same kind of acrivities with Little man before he started school.  What you need: Blank paper or a work book (we have a sketchbook we use for our 'school' work) Red, pink or purple construction paper Markers, pencil, glue stick and scissors  What to do: On the white paper, draw 8 hearts in pencil, write the letters I-L-O-V-E-Y-O-U in the hearts. Cut 8 hearts out of the construction paper and write the same letters in each heart using the markers. Lat the construction paper hearts out on the table beside the white paper. Give your little one the glue stick and have them choose one heart at a time to glue on the corresponding letter on the white page. When all the letters are glued down you can draw and decorate the white paper.  Happy learning a d happy Valentine's Day!
