Want another way to help teach your preschooler about Jesus’ love this February? When we see family members showing love to one another, we fill the jar with small hearts in hopes of having the jar overflowing come Valentine’s Day. I also like to put a small jar next to our countdown calendar. Not sure why I was surprised, but my toddler ate them all that same day! Now I fill them each morning, one day at a time!
#VALENTINES DAY COUNTDOWN PRO#
Here is a pro tip for us mommas: Last February I made the error of filling all 14 of the Valentine’s Day countdown pockets ahead of time with chocolates. Bonus if it also helps bring in the spirit each morning. Things that are simple, fun, and get the kids looking forward to the holiday are keys for creating fun holiday memories in our house.
All you need to do is add some chocolate. We have your scriptures already made for you right here on a convenient printable. All you need is one small candy for each family member and one scripture for each day leading up to Valentine’s Day. This is a simple family tradition we love doing. When the kids wake up in the mornings from February 1st through 14th, they rush down the stairs and get their “countdown chocolate” for the day while I read the scripture verse. Each scripture reference is written on a strip of paper and placed in a Valentine’s countdown pocket along with a small chocolate for each family member. We read a scripture about love for each of the 14 days leading up to Valentine’s Day. Our Valentine’s Day Countdown begins each year on February 1st.
My kids love to know, “How many days until Valentine’s Day?” Do you hear that question a lot at your house too? For each of the big holidays we have some type of countdown chain or calendar to help us visualize each day passing leading up to the big celebration.
