This week I set out to find if there's more to kid-friendly Valentine's Day poems than "Roses are red. Violets are blue." The answer, thank goodness, is a resounding "Yes!"
Apples4theteacher.com houses several dozen poems that can be read aloud or included in homemade valentines.
Children's book author Bethany Roberts has a huge Valentine's Day section which includes poems illustrated with animated graphics, stories, songs and links.
Brownielocks presents a compilation of poems (attributed to a variety of authors) and a collection of original valentine rhymes written by Brownielocks herself.
"Celebrate St Valentines Day with Shakespeare, Keats, Shelley and Lord Byron love poems. What can be more romantic than a Valentine poem or message using the words of a great poet?"
Not just another compilation site, Joanna and Karl Fuchs share their original poetry with us at PoemSource.com.
50 free valentine cards that you can download and print. Or, download customizable versions for just $4.00.
"Heart-shaped candies, pretty cards and lots of xoxoxo�no wonder this holiday's our favorite."
My don't-miss-it pick of the day is FamilyFun TV where you can watch how-to video demonstrations of two really cute Valentine crafts.
With a focus on printable templates, DLTK has a huge selection of Valentine's Day activities divided into sections such as: Coloring Pages, Crafts, Games and Puzzles, Poems, Printables, Recipes, Worksheets and Links.
