February is short on days (but not this year)

and filled with fun!

 

 

Fill your home with construction paper valentines decorated with doilies, lace, and ribbon.

 

 

Visit the post office.  It’s a great fun to make a valentine and send it to someone special through the mail.

 

 

Use a heart cookie cutter to celebrate family love all month long.  Enjoy heart-shaped toast topped with strawberry jelly.

 

 

Make a family graffiti sign of love.  Tape a large heart-shaped paper to your refrigerator.  Invite each family member to draw people, places, and objects (e.g., a teddy bear) they love.  Watch this wonderful picture of love grow.

 

 

During mealtime prayer, give thanks for one or two special things about each person at the table.  Delighted smiles will light up the room.

 

 

Choose or purchase a special plate(s) to use for meals of celebration—birthdays, baptismal anniversary, name day, wedding anniversaries, start and end of school year, job promotion, holy days, holidays, or any special occasion the family wishes to celebrate.

 

 

Set up a gadget band.  Use a variety of housewares—pots, pans, spoons, cans, etc.  Invite each member of the family to choose and instrument.  Then fill the house with joyful noise, smiles, and laughter.

 

 

Assist your child in making paper place mats for your dinner table on St. Valentine’s Day.  Decorate the place mats using crayons or makers.  Encourage your child to use his or her oven design ideas.

 

 

Tape a picture of Jesus on your kitchen door.  Arrange cut-out hearts around the picture of Jesus.  On each heart display a picture of a family member.
