Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day Cards

We made valentine cards with potato stamps this year.  I carved potatoes into various heart shapes and then we stamped them with Tempura paint.  Eric just wanted to paint with a paintbrush so I cut his paintings into heart shapes. 

The boys like to mix all the paint colors together, so I've started limiting the color choices to prevent their art projects from always being brownish/grayish.  For example, for these valentines the color choices were white, red, and blue, which mix into pink and purple.

The boys made decorated valentine bags and exchanged valentines at Thursday homeschool co-op.  At co-op, they also graphed conversation heats by color and played heart bingo.
