Be my valentine.

Action Rhyme - Just for You

Cut, cut, cut with scissors. (Pretend to cut)
Paste, paste, paste with glue. (Pretend to glue)
Color, color, color with crayons. (Pretend to color)
(Both thumbs pointing to self) I made this pretty Valentine,
(Extend hands outward as if offering a gift) Just for YOU!

Action Rhyme - Make a Heart

Make a heart up in the sky.
Make it tall,
Make it wide.
Make a heart close to the ground.
Make it small,
Then sit down.
