This week we're having loads of fun celebrating Valentine's Day, but with a new twist.  

We're celebrating it in Paris!  

Our continent of the month is Europe, so it's working out quite nicely.  I had so much fun planning our activities this week. My husband helped out a great deal too.  Oh, how I miss Europe!

We hope you enjoy all of these Valentine's Day activities and free printables for kids as much as we do!

Valentine's Day in Paris Activities for Kids with Free Printables

"The Sunshine Seeks My Little Room" Poem Analysis

This month we're digging into poetry.  I found this poem on the internet.  The source is noted on the printable, along with the author.  

Each kiddo will practice reading the poem and then match up the objects to their lines in the poem.  (A calendar representation and pointer are missing from this photo, but added later.)

Valentine's Day Spelling Words with Chocolate

The kiddos will practice their spelling words by covering them with chocolates.  

I learned as we practiced spelling words with sugar cubes, that it was very difficult for the kiddos to form their letters correctly without a template.  Hence why word templates are provided.  

Dinomite and Princess will use M&Ms to create their words.  Bulldozer will use Hershey's Dark Chocolate Chips, as he can not have M&Ms (allergies).

Valentine's Day Subtraction with Hearts

Sweet Treats in Paris Money Activity

Creating this activity made my mouth water.  Oh how I miss Paris!

Art Museums in Paris Sorting Activity

Paris is known for their art. Their museums are amazing. 

In this activity the kiddos will be introduced to art in two of the most famous museums in Paris.  

Again, what a perfect thing to do on Valentine's Day!  

The kiddos will separate the paintings by museum.  They will be introduced to Impressionism.  

How I miss Paris.

At Night at the French Opera Activity for Kids

This is by far my favorite activity on the shelves this week.  Mind you I'm biased.  My degree is in music with an emphasis in voice.  It's been a long time since I sang for hours a day in a practice studio and on stage for that matter.  

If nothing else, the kiddos should find this activity very intriguing.  (They're not big fans of operatic singing.)

The kiddos will be introduced to two French Opera Composers and two of their most famous operas. 

They will learn the composer's names and identify their pictures with the cards provided. 

Then they will get a chance to watch one short scene from each opera using the iPad.
