Today I had fun decorating a Valentine bag with my four year old son. It was actually an assigned activity for his preschool class. Things like this become huge projects with a preschooler! In addition to the bag, we put together some Valentine cards with heart shaped ring suckers. I made him write his own name on all of the 15 cards, which he didn't like. I got a lot of the, "My hand is soooo tired!" LOL.... I even let him do 4-5 at a time with a pretty long break, but I still got a few complaints. He did have fun decorating the bag though. We used a white gift bag and painted it with colored glitter paint. He then added some sparkly glitter dragons to the front and back. I cut out some felt heart stickers that he also added to the front and back, and then he put all kinds of other Valentine themed stickers on the sides. He added his name to the top. Yeah, I know the 'h' is lower case, but oh well.... there wasn't a capital one in the pack. :-)
If you are looking for a Valentine bag idea for upper elementary, I made this fun bag activity, and it can be found in my TpT store. It lets students share a little about themselves, and it also has a book report sheet the kids fill out and glue to the back. They get to share about a book they LOVE. After they bring it to school and present to the class, they get to fill it with all of the Valentine cards their friends brought them. Even big kids love Valentine's Day activities. It's one of my favorite days of the school year. :-)
