Where-are-we-going Wednesday?--Valentine's Week

1. Visit a nursing home or children's hospital and "spread the love". Bring homemade Valentine's Day cards to give out, and bring some homemade or store-bought cookies to share. Make sure you call ahead to check on the best time to come and food items that are okay to bring.

2. Surprise daddy at work with a special Valentine! He'll love seeing you even more than the card. Or, bring one to a grandparent or special neighbor.

3. Go to a bakery that sells Valentine's Day treats and share a special snack. If you call ahead and ask, they may even let your child help put the finishing touches on his or her treat! Or, if you have an old-fashioned candy shop near you, go watch them make candy and buy some to share on Valentine's Day.

4. Make a Valentine's Day card for a soldier you know or one in your community. Take your child to the post office to mail it. If you don't know any soldiers, visit this website (Let's Say Thanks) and send a card from home!
