Even though it feels like Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years were mere seconds ago, we\u2019re actually already (somehow!) nearly at the mid-point of February, which means everyone\u2019s favorite \u201cHallmark Holiday\u201d is coming up – Valentine\u2019s Day. <\/span><\/p>\n

Whether you love it or hate it, Valentine\u2019s Day is always a great excuse for popping open some candies and teaching the little ones about the importance of friendship. In many classrooms around the country children will be exchanging handmade cards with their classmates and teachers\u2026 and teachers and parents will be trying to harness a rowdy group of children with a higher-than-normal level of energy. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

To help wrangle the little ones back into their seats while burning off some candy-fueled energy, we\u2019ve got a few Valentine\u2019s Day inspired activities and crafts to share with you.<\/span><\/p>\n

Heart Healthy Exercises<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/span>Remember how we were <\/span>just<\/span><\/i> commiserating about the amount of energy those kids have from their Valentine\u2019s Day candy? Why not have them burn it off – and get a little lesson on the heart – with some exercises! <\/span>Make & Take<\/span><\/a> has an awesome Heart Healthy Exercise game that she uses with her class. <\/span><\/p>\n

How To Say I Love You<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Perhaps you\u2019re looking for a bit more of a subdued activity, if you\u2019re attempting to avoid riling the children up, or you\u2019re taking advantage of them coming <\/span>down<\/span><\/i> from their candy-induced energy burst. <\/span>This printable from Teacher Vision<\/span><\/a> has the translation for \u201cI Love You\u201d in 16 different languages, and will definitely be a cute activity to children to practice at school and surprise their families with at home!<\/span><\/p>\n

Crayon Hearts<\/b><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for an activity that will keep little hands busy and provide them with a sense of achievement, these <\/span>Crayon Hearts<\/span><\/a> from the Queen of Crafts herself, Martha Stewart, are the perfect option. Your students will be able to present a symbol of their love and appreciation to their parents, siblings, grandparents, or their favorite teacher! <\/span><\/p>\n
