Weekly Workboxes - Valentines Day

So this is our 'off' week, though we will be doing some fun Valentine's Day stuff, and lots of outings!

In addition to some of the stuff we did last year in our workboxes....we have a few new things:

Melissa & Doug Sweet Hearts Bead Set

Transfer spiky balls in heart bowls

open and close containers (always a favorite) ONE has a heart eraser hidden inside

Chocolate box transfer with brown pom poms

Counting red pom poms into valentine themed cups

Valentine Books

And we'll be trying our hand at making a heart out of legos!

We'll also be working on our review products this week, and also thought it would be a great time to do the CHOCOLATE CHALLENGE from Unit Studies by Amanda Bennett! YUM! We also plan to get in a few art activities for Valentine's Day....but really this week it's all about having FUN! (though we try to have fun every week, there is not much of an agenda this week, or anything we absolutely HAVE to do).

There won't be any wrap-ups posted this week, but I'll have lots of other fun stuff posted!
Hope everyone has a great week!
