I want to give a little something to all the kids in my son's toddler room. Since he's a boy does he just give a card/treat to girls in his class or to everyone regardless of sex? I thought the latter but my husband thought maybe it was the former...
Also, any idea of what kinds of treats might be nice to give thats not too unhealthy? Thanks!
My son is giving Star War Valentine cards to all his classmates. When I should him VD cards with hearts on it he said " Geez mom want me to barf?" (lol)
My kiddo's daycare class is about 12 kids and pretty evenly divided boy and girl. He's in the 3/4 year old group, and they are doing cards for everyone.
We got a flyer about it: told us the number of kids in the class, and it said to make out the cards to "my friend", from "child's name". We got racecar cards - they're not lovey dovey, just say nice things - "you're great", way to go, etc.
all the kids not just the girls. when he gets to kindergarten you will get a note that says there are "X" number of kids please send that many valentines if you are going to participate. they have even at least in our district stopped putting names on the front of the envelopes. your little one just signs his name on the back and then puts them into each little mailbox or bag etc. as far as treats go. I would stay away from anything with nuts. rice crispy treats seem to be the big favorite at our schools.
Give to everyone, while tradtionally I think Valentines were for girls, we all shared Valentines with eachother in school to be fair.
at my daughter's daycare, it's small, only 4 boys and her, either everyone gets a valentine or no one. Maybe instead of a card he could get them all a little treat if your husband is against him getting valentines for boys?
we give tattoos, or pencils, or stickers, or lollipops.
you give to everyone so that its not a popularity contest and someone gets left out by not getting one.
You always give a valentine to everyone-even in the third grade my son is bringing one for his whole class. For kids it is not a romantic thing.
When my sons were in preschool I would bring in a tiny stuffed animal with their cards.
All the kids typically exchange with all the kids (not just those of the opposite sex). You could give them the card and a single Hershey Kiss or lollipop. Not HEALTHY but a single one isn't so bad. Also, there are a number of valentine card packages that come with a street or a pencil included.
My sons preschools have always done V-day, and you give everyone in the class a card. It's the same this year for both my 2 year old and 4 year old. I go ahead and let them put the Charms Cherry heart suckers on their cards, but other options could be mini packs of Craisins (they're red) or mini dried fruit packs. For me it depended on how many kids were in the class. The dried fruit packs can get pricey! The individual packets of gummies/fruit snacks often at least have 100% of vitamin C in them and kids go NUTS for them. Check with the preschool director though to make sure of any rules they have. At our preschool EVERYTHING must be store bought and in original packaging -no homemade treats :-( I understand that though.
