Make Valentine's Day Heart Puzzles
When Valentine's Day comes around each year, it can be a good time to talk about how there are many different ways to say "I love you." Not everyone shows their affection in the same way. Some people show their love by giving hugs. Some people say “I love you” by making a special craft or giving a present to someone. Thinking of all the ways kids can show their love is a good way to help them use their creativity.
When Daniel Tiger learns that his little sister Margaret accidentally gave away part of his “Love Day” scavenger hunt for Grandpere Tiger, he gets frustrated! Daniel is upset when his plan doesn’t work out. Grandpere Tiger shares with Daniel that there is more than one way he can show his love.
Making heart puzzles is one way to show someone you care about them. With this craft, you can make something special for someone you love.
