Fun with Conversation Hearts {and After School Link Up}

By thisreadingmama 2 Comments

With Valentine’s Day right around the corner, your child is sure to get a box {or two} of conversation hearts. I thought it would be fun to showcase a few posts that feature some fun with conversation hearts today. Also, be sure to link up a post at the end of our new After School Link Up for the week!

Kim over at Not Consumed shows you how to take those conversation hearts and have a blast with your own kids! I love the heart stack game! Which one do you like?

How about this super cool Conversation Heart picture frame over at Play Dr. Mom? My oldest would love to do this!

While The Measured Mom doesn’t feature conversation hearts in her post, they would make THE PERFECT playing piece for Valentine Sight Word Game, don’t you think?

We had a blast last year with these comic strip stories made from conversation hearts. This year, we’re doing them again at a homeschool group meeting! I can’t wait to see all the conversations made from them!
