Flannel Friday: H-E-A-R-T-felt Songs

I hope everyone is having a lovely Friday! 

I am working on a few Valentine programs so I have several super easy, super versatile activities to share today. One set of felt hearts can be used for each of these activities! These are all the shapes you need:

Larger heart shapes in 

Glittery white

H-E-A-R-T

(Sung to: "B-I-N-G-O)

To show you like your special friends

Just give them each a heart.

H-E-A-R-T

H-E-A-R-T

H-E-A-R-T

Each heart says, "I like you!"

I explain to my storytime friends that I am going to turn one heart around each time we sing the song so that there is a plain heart with no letter. For each plain heart with no letter, we are going to blow a big kiss! At the end of the song, we will only be blowing lots of kisses and saying no letters.This is always met with laughter and a few practice kisses. Then we continue our song.

It is hard to tell in the picture but the first heart is a bright pink.
Also, I would suggest gluing 2 hearts (of the same color) together
if you don't want to see the letters when you flip the hearts over.

To show you like your special friends

Just give them each a heart.

Kiss-E-A-R-T

Kiss-E-A-R-T

Kiss-E-A-R-T

Each heart says, "I like you!"

This next song uses the plain side of the pink, yellow, red, and blue hearts along with a few special hearts. Don't worry! You will be able to include the purple one again soon. ;o)

Lacy Hearts

(Sung to "Jingle Bells")

Lacy hearts, candy hearts, flowery hearts, too.

Hearts of pink,

Hearts of yellow, 

Hearts of red, and blue.

Lacy hearts, candy hearts, flowery hearts, too.

Oh, what fun it is to share 

Lots of hearts with you!

Repeat song.

The last song that I am sharing with you today is actually a repeat from a post that I made last year. It is one of my popular posts but, more importantly, it is SOOOO MUCH FUN to share with little ones and it helps them with color recognition. Please click on the title to visit the original post that contains the words to the song and several fun ways to share it with your child(ren). 

Little Red Valentine

(Sung to: "Skip to My Lou") 

Yay! The purple heart is back for this one!

Well, that is it for this HEART-felt Friday. Hope you enjoy your weekend!

And, as always,

HAPPY READING TOGETHER!
