Valentine's Recipe
|
Valentine's Chocolate Covered Strawberries
| 
| Chocolate covered strawberries are a great treat for kids to make because it does not require any baking & they make a perfect Valentine snack.
|
| Simply melt a bag of chocolate chips in a double boiler.
|
| While chips are melting, lay out a sheet of waxed paper.
|
| Make sure your berries and clean and dry. If the berries are wet, the chocolate will not stick as well.
|
| Let your kids dip the strawberries in the melted chocolate and carefully set the berries on the waxed paper to cool and dry.

Valentine's Game
|
Valentine's Guessing Game
|
What You Will Need
| Take a bunch of jars and fill them with assorted Valentine's Day candies (one kind of candy per jar).
|
| Be sure to count the number of candies as you put them in the jars.
|
| Leave a piece of paper and a pencil next to the jar and have the kids guess how many candies are in the jar. Be sure they write their name on the paper beside their guess.
|
| The one who's closest to the correct number wins the jar of candy.
|
| You could also have it where the one that guesses the correct number wins a prize instead of the jar of candies.
| Note: For older kids why not make the game a little more difficult. Maybe have them pick the hearts out of the box, one at a time, using chopsticks. You can also make the actions the kids have to perform a little more difficult
