Tot School: God Loves Me

Today at Tot School we celebrated Valentine’s Day by learning about the love of God.  We had a very special treat today…fruit, crackers, and marshmallows dipped in chocolate. There were lots of sticky fingers and happy chocolate smiles!   



We enjoyed playing with beanbags and singing “Jesus Loves Me”.  The kids got some great exercise jogging around their indoor track, the loop through the kitchen, dining room, and living room.  They came up with this activity on their own and enjoyed it immensely!

At the table we practiced beginning letter sounds with heart charts and used our scissor skills to cut out a heart shape from a folded paper.  We made some cute crafts for Valentine’s Day.  The kids made a special hand print valentine and a silly valentine man.  They loved squishing their fingers in the paint to make their hand print hearts!   

Peeled the stickers for his valentine all by himself!

They colored a “Jesus Loves the Little Children” picture and we talked about how He loves each one of us.

We ran out of time to make candy heart necklaces (I think the kids had plenty of sweet treats today anyway).   



Although we spent most of our time on arts and crafts, we found a few minutes to read a special Veggie Tales story called “God Loves You Very Much”.
