Lapbooks for Valentine’s Day

Learn about Early Church History

The story behind the real Bishop Valentine is worth learning about in your homeschool studies.  It is a great story of a strong Christian who believed in standing up for love and marriage in spite of the dangers from the Roman authorities.

Amanda Bennett, well-known for her great unit studies, offers a Valentine’s Day 1-week unit study and lapbook in her Download N Go series.  We did this lapbook last year and it was great.

Everything you need is included, even the clickable links to learn more from internet resources.  It’s easy to follow along each day and just print the lapbook components and put them together as you go.

After you complete this lapbook, your children will understand why we commemorate Valentine’s Day as more than just a time to exchange cards.

Symbols, Celebrations, and Traditions

Most kids enjoy making homemade Valentines to share with their friends and family. While you’re busy with the fun of making cards, why not include a lapbook in your arts and crafts so they can learn about the symbols and traditions of Valentine’s Day?

Here are a few that we have used and liked in our homeschool:
