Valentines Day is "for giving love to everyone" (Anjali)

The wonderful things about Valentine's Day in preschool:  1. a day filled with paper hearts, a lollipop or two, some stickers, a heart pencil, and whatever else can be taped on to a 2 x3 inch card.  2.  classmates names scrawled unintelligibly on the cards, but the giver knowing exactly which valentine is meant for each particular child.  3. the joy and delight shown not only when receiving a paper heart, but also in giving them.  I've found that there are very few expectations with preschoolers concerning Valentine's Day, unlike in the adult world.   No one is really expecting the light-up bracelet or the batman tatoo, so when it is discovered in the depths of the Valentine bag, it's as if the Valentine fairy herself jumped out!  And lollipops taste so much better when attached to sparkly hearts or Paw Patrol cards.
