During my first year teaching in a Christian preschool, I was caught off guard by Valentine’s day. The stores did not have any Valentine’s that I wanted to give to my students.
There were some very creative moms in my class and they inspired me to make up my own Christian Valentines for my students. Using the shape and size of a standard Hershey bar, I created a wrapper that said, “HE IS LOVE.”
The kids loved it. One precious little boy lit up with excitement, ” A big candy bar, all for me!” He was overwhelmed by the large size of it in his small hand.
His wonderful mom said, he needed to eat lunch first and it might be nice to share that big candy bar.
School policy says we only celebrate Christian holidays in the classrooms. We always bring every holiday back to God and the reason for the season. Valentine’s Day is no different. One of our memory verses is:
God is Love.
1 John 4:16.
So the phrase “He is Love, ” makes sense, for his holiday gift.
I put other verses on the back and left a space for me to write their names. The original master copy is signed by me, which saves me time each year.
I have put this item on Tpt, if you’re interested in this download printable check it out HERE!
Blessings.
Be sure to check out: Answers in Genesis website. It has lots of free videos for kids and adults. It is a valuable resource for parents and teachers. My family loves it.
