  Enjoy these free printable Valentines Day cards & science experiment that your kids will LOVE - a great option to use as printable cards for classmates!! So here's my thing with Valentine's Day (well, actually two things)... First, the store-bought, pre-packaged card sets that have 24 valentines to a box -- It. Drives. Me. Nuts! Why? Well, my kids haven't had 24 kids in their class EVER.  So every year, I'm stuck buying two boxes in order to accomodate the 26 or so friends in the class.

Use this great list of picture books about countries & cities around the world to raise a global citizen! I don't know when it started but I've always been fascinated with maps, globes and learning about places around the world.  I love to see how people across the globe eat, live and spend their day.  These everyday activities are a fun way to expose kids to cultures and traditions outside of their own. But alas, globe-trotting just doesn't come that easy -- even for a traveling family like ours.  It's expensive and takes quite a bit of time and planning.  So for years, I've made a conscious effort to introduce my kids to different countries and cultures thorough books, videos and some fun hands-on activities we can do close to home.
