With your children, choose a person who needs a little extra

love—a friend, relative, or neighbor—and plan your healthy and

happy heart attack. Help the kids cut out the hearts on page

32, write your own love notes on the hearts, and glue them

onto wooden skewers. You can also use the printables on

pages 16-19 from the sweetheart activity if they apply. Then,

in the dark of night, stick them in the person’s front yard. If

they don’t have a front yard, use masking tape to attach them

to the front door or garage. The kids will be a secret Valentine

for someone else and you’ll make the heart attackee have a

special Valentine’s Day since they will know they are loved.

Love begins at home, and it is not how much we do... but how much love we put in that action.
