Our four year old son attends a MDO and I've been asked to do an activity with 9 four year olds at their Valentine's Day party. The teacher suggested decorating pre-made cookies but that just seems so over-done. Any cool ideas of what we can do with the kids? Nothing too complicated and nothing that requires cooking unless easily done prior to the party. Thanks! =)
This lady has some great ideas. Click on the Valentine's Day Ideas link on the left side.
We made flower suckers this year. take a peice of paper and cut it into fourths- fold one of the smaller peices as you would for making a snowflake. Cut one rounded cut at the top and snip off a little at the pointed end. Open it and you will have a flower shape with a hole in the middle- stick a sucker through the hole(we used dum-dum suckers). You can tape a paper leaf to the stick with a "to" and "from" and you can put a small piece of tape at the bottom of the flower to keep it in place. They are really easy and cute.

My four year old and I made Valentine frames for family this year. We got the kit at Walmart for about $5. Everything was stick on and very easy to make.
