In this post: Crafts, treats, and our homeschool group’s Valentine’s party. Also a character lapbook on responsibility, and conversation heart science.
Hello dear ones! Last week I said that chocolate is a must for Valentine’s, and I shared our chocolate study. Well, there is another candy must for Valentine’s: conversation hearts.

Conversation hearts were a big part of our preparations for the homeschool group’s Valentine’s party. Here’s how:
- “Love never fails” Valentines
I found the printables here: http://www.notconsumed.com/2014/01/27/7-free-scripture-valentine-printables/
Then we just poured conversation hearts into sandwich bags and stapled the printables to the top.
- Mini Conversation Hearts Cupcakes
I used a box cake mix and a mini cupcake pan to make 40 something cupcakes. I put a candy on top of each. This was simple and tasty.
- Conversation Hearts Science
We did a little experiment with the candies. We put candies in bleach, water, and in vinegar. The bleach completely dissolved and removed the color from the candy. The vinegar and water both turned the color of the candy.
We did this responsibility lapbook for our character lesson. You can find it here:

We did a quick study on St. Valentine’s and Michael colored this scripture page.

Michael made this guitar valentine for his dad.
Lastly, Chris and Michael put together this Minecraft Valentine’s mailbox while we were at the party.
We had a ton of good food at the Valentine’s party.
My friend Hannah made “Cupid punch”.
My buddy Erin stamped the kids’ hands and faces. Olivia and Everly were covered in hearts.
Well, God bless & remember the High King lives! ~Amber Dover
