With Valentine’s Day quickly approaching, I thought I’d share a few blog posts and other resources for those looking for some new activities to try.
- Elizabeth Gretz shares how she’ll be celebrating Valentine’s Day in speech therapy in “Happy Heart Day“
- Ruth Morgan shares an easy, edible idea in “Friendship Hearts (Yummy simple treat)“
- Kim Lewis shares a more “boy” themed Valentines Day activity in “Death and Destruction (a.k.a. a Valentine for the boys)“
- Still looking for more ideas? Pediastaff shares literally hundreds on their Valentines Day Activities/Treats board on Pinterest
Have other posts or resources? Please share in the comments.
