Valentine's Day DIY Exchange Cards for Kids

Yesterday LO's teacher sent a note that the children can pass out Valentine cards at the classroom!!💝 So immediately me and LO didn't set to work!💗 We had a good long nap 💤after a heavy lunch. After LO woke up he was pestering me to accompany him for the play. So I thought let me occupy LO by doing the Valentine cards for his friends. Evening when we started we didn't have much time, so I planned to make simple cards, with construction paper.

Teacher's note read 13 girls and 6 boys! So I have to make 13+5 cards, before we go to bed! LO wanted to help me, but I didn't have much time to instruct and get help from him. So I asked him to just sign the cards, by writing his name on!!😍 He got so excited in doing so!!💕 Took roughly half an hour to browse for the ideas and then set to work. I planned like red color for girls and lavender for boys. 💖💜

Hope you all like the idea!

Room 6 Little Ones

LO wanted to write down his pre-school classmate's name on a paper and we did. Then he wanted me to put the paper on the wall😮😀. So I thought I would make one more as a fair copy for the purpose! Initially I didn't have any idea as how to take it, and after writing some couple of names, I thought, let me try calligraphy with the markers!!!😲 Weird idea though!! LO was very co-operative and patient while I was fulfilling all my silly desires!😜 He didn't forget to include his teachers' names. And finally LO decorated with stickers!

Think of similar kind which you can do with your Little Ones, that would make them happy!!

Make a Pan Flute of your own

Try this DIY Pan Flute with straws. We did this flute in an art and craft class organized for kids, when LO was in his second year. I don't have the step-wise pictures. Here is a youtube link to which you can refer, https://youtu.be/BaymX3qJRbQ. Try this out and enjoy the musical moment🎵🎶

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom Alphabet Activity

The Book "Chicka Chicka Boom Boom" by Bill Martin was an inspiration for this activity. We borrowed this book from library long back, may be when LO was in his second year. From then on we love the book completely, because of its illustration and each page is filled with colorful alphabets and musical text. A must read book for your toddler kid. 

Chicka Chicka Boom Boom ABC, which is a board book and a shorter version of the longer book is also available. 

Let's get into action! We used paper towel tube and foam alphabets primarily for this activity. If you have magnetic alphabets you can use a cylindrical tin wrapped with brown paper in the place of the paper towel tube. 

I would say this, no preparation activity, just grab the materials and start sticking the alphabets on the tree trunk! LO helped me in sticking the alphabets on the trunk.

Cut the leaves from a green construction paper and make few slits.

Insert them on the top opening of the tube and is all set for the play!!

Try this book and activity and let me know the experience!
