This month of February is a great time to instill good qualities like love, kindness, and respect in children. Let’s use this Valentine’s month to teach children that it is very easy to treat parents, teachers, friends, and elders with kindness, respect them, and love them. So today we are going to create a heart wreath. Let the children create this with patience and cooperation with each other. Also, use heart wreaths in the classroom and at home to teach children the importance of being a loving person.
