Answer 1

Check out www.coloring.ws/ and www.coloringcastle.com/. I use these two with the individuals I work with. They have all types of coloring pages for both holidays and everyday.

Also, what about making sugar cookies. The littlest ones can help carry ingredients to the table and smash the cookie dough together, where the older kids can mix and measure. Prep the ingredients - measure out 1/2 cup of milk (let's say) and tell the child "pour this into the bowl." They wouldn't have access to the full gallon of milk or be responsible to measure anything, just pouring.

Answer 2

Trace the child's hand on paper (construction works well), then fold the two middle fingers down to make the "I Love You" sign.

If you have access to a die cut machine (library?) you can do all sorts of fun stuff like folded paper boxes.

Answer 3

Give them sweets and presents and have a party! they will love it and have some activities at the party like pass the parcel and you can have a box of chocolates in the shape of a heart!

Answer 4

M@M bingo or candy heart

Answer 5

The website that I use for my homschool daughters (4 and 6 years) as well as my daycare and preschool is:

www.dltk-kids.com

They have all sorts of ideas for crafts.

Their sister site is wonderful too for worksheets, lesson plans, themes, etc.:
