             VALENTINE SEARCH 
              Tape one end of a long piece of yarn to a special valentine 
              or a valentine treat. Hide the valentine where your child can easily 
              reach it. Then arrange the long yarn piece so that it passes over 
              pillows placed on the floor, around chairs, under a table, and so 
              forth. Give the loose end of the yarn to your child. Invite her 
              to follow the yarn wherever it leads to discover her hidden valentine.
