I know that it seems wierd to be thinking about Valentine's Day when Halloween is just around the corner. But there are a lot of things in the stores now that are great for Valentine's Day, that won't be on the shelves in February. There are lots of miniture size candy that can be used for classroom valentines. But the greatest things out now are the many somewhat odd things that you can make into valentines. I found a heart shaped Jello mold the other day (not a valentine heart, but a real heart). I am going to make a Jello for dinner with a sign that says "You make my heart quiver". I know it is a little gross but it is still funny. I've also seen jello molds for hands and brains. You could make notes that said something like, "I want to hold your hand", or I can't get you off my mind". There are candy Eyeballs available that you can put a note with that says, "Can't take my eyes off of you". Or there is bone candy that you could with a note that says, "You really rattle my bones", or, "No bones about it, I want you for my Valentine".
