Valentines
For fathers, we made liquid watercolor prints of heart-shaped doilies on watercolor paper. We then followed the same writing process for fathers' valentines as we did for the mothers'.
Authentic writing activities, like writing valentines for their favorite sweethearts- mommy and daddy, teach children the purpose of writing in a way that is meaningful to them. They get a chance to see that their spoken words can be written. By actually writing words, like their names, their parents' names, and other words that are important to them, children get a chance to strengthen fine motor skills as well as identify letters and letter sounds.
