The story, When an Elephant Falls in Love, tells of an elephant that does many foolish things when he is around the object of his affection. He hides, writes letters he never sends, and leaves flowers at the door only to run away. I was instantly captivated by the adorable illustrations and simple text.
Target can be dangerous. A little shopping therapy ended in a cheap parent gift for each student, costing $10. The book was $12.
Contain the mess by using a bowl.
I have adhesive magnetic tape that I adhered to the back of their frames.
The heart light was purchased several years ago. I found a cute free printable if you're looking for something your kids can hold. The bunting comes in English and Spanish.
The 4x6 frame fits perfectly in the party bags!
Check out a few pages of this adorable story...

The kids are provided a directed drawing of an elephant and a doodle framed paper for their illustration. To assist their writing, my students are also provided picture cards of Valentine's Day nouns and an affectionate acts mini book. Students are asked to write sweet or silly things they will do for the people they love.
Looking for additional ideas, I have a book companion for Somebody Loves You, Mr. Hatch.
