Our Valentines Exchange - 4 Year Old Class

March 5, 2018, 06:00 AM

We decided we would have an imagination market of materials we had collected over the year like paper towel rolls, stones, egg carton sticks etc.

The children then selected materials they would like to use to make their valentines card/gift. It was hard to wait a turn to visit the imagination market! Some of the children decided to sit close and watch until it was their turn to pick from the imagination market. While the children were waiting they began talking among themselves about what they were going to make. Charlie said he was going to be making a robot.

On the day of the exchange children brought their cards/gifts they made at home. The children put their cards/gifts into a basket which we then exchanged by each child picking one on the first turn and two on the second turn. As the basket went around and children picked from it some of the children would recognize the card/gift they had made and proudly shouted out that they had made that one, which then began conversations as to how the card/gift was made.
