Love, Literacy, & Learning: The Magic of Writing Valentines

Love, Literacy, & Learning: The Magic of Writing Valentines

At the Valentine card station at the Teddy Bear Tea Party, children are invited to create and decorate their own heartfelt Valentine’s Day cards in a fun and engaging way. 💌💞

Young writers of all developmental levels can practice their writing, while those who prefer to draw or color are encouraged to express themselves in their own unique way! This activity fosters early literacy skills by helping children recognize letters, form words, and practice handwriting in a relaxed, supportive environment. Holding crayons, markers, and pencils also strengthens fine motor skills, improving dexterity and hand-eye coordination.

Beyond the developmental benefits, writing a valentine encourages emotional expression, allowing children to practice kindness, gratitude, and empathy as they create something special for a loved one. Designing and decorating their own card boosts creativity and self-confidence, while the act of giving and receiving valentines nurtures a sense of belonging and strengthens friendships. This magical experience at The Good Witch of Salem’s Teddy Bear Tea Party provides children with the opportunity to explore language, share love, and celebrate their unique creativity in a truly enchanting way! ✨
