<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nBird Seed Heart Shaped Feeder<\/a><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\nWe found a special Valentine’s Day Poem and thought it would be nice to give the birds their very own Valentine. We’ve been working on Random Acts of Kindness the past month. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We printed out the poem for our wall to memorize and then created our Bird Seed Heart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Here’s the Valentine’s Day Poem<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Valentines<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nI gave a hundred Valentines.
A hundred, did I say?
I gave a thousand Valentines
one cold and wintry day.
I didn’t put my name on them
or any other words,
because my Valentines were seeds
for February birds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n- Draw a heart onto cardboard and cut it out. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Create a hole at the top to attach the string from at the end of the process. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Then generously spread peanut butter onto the cut out heart cardboard. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- To create our Bird Seed Heart we collected 100 Black Sunflower Seeds to line the outside and then sprinkled our “1000” seeds in the middle on the front. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Make sure you press the seeds down so they don’t fall off when you pick them up. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Then insert the string into the hole. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Hang outside and observe. <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Hang up the Poem somewhere on your fridge to remember the special poem.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n\nYou can use themed stamps to create many different crafts!
We’ll be making Valentine Cards, Family Mailbox and Valentine Patterns with these too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We worked on learning the concept of 100 by grouping things into groups of 10. I had my daughter choose 10 different stamps and then she stamped them on 10 strips of paper to make a paper chain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We practiced counting by ones and by tens to 100 as we created it and using the 100 Number Chart.<\/p>\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nBase ten blocks are cool to begin with and a great way to show numbers in a concrete way! At our house, we have been working on building numbers from 0-100! I’ve been trying to use our light box more and this was the perfect actvity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
We found a set of transparent pink and blue base ten blocks at a garage sale last year and were able to see them very clearly with our light box. <\/p>\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\nThese are great because they connect together and form a 100 block, which we can stack on top of the pre-made hundred block to compare and then to count by 100’s. Isn’t math just exciting<\/p>\n\n\n\n
