Visit a flower store together and observe all the colorful flowers and valentine arrangements!

What to do:

1. Take a walk with your child to the local florist.
2. Observe all the valentine arrangements inside.
3. Talk about the colors of the beautiful flowers. Which is your child's favorite?
4. Smell the flowers. What is your child's favorite smell?
5. Look at the decorations and other items in this store. Do you see hearts, cupid, arrows, candy, or cards? Show these to your child and explain how these symbols relate to Valentine's Day.

7. Back at home, invite your child to help arrange real or plastic flowers in a vase with you.
