Activities About Loving Feelings
At circle time, each child shares someone they love a lot – people, pets, or even a favorite stuffed animal. Pass a fabric heart around the circle, and whoever holds it says something kind to someone. Show different ways to let someone know you love them, like a smile or a drawing. Then hunt for paper hearts hidden around the room.
Fun Facts About Loving Feelings
Loving someone is one of the best feelings there is. When we hug someone, our bodies release a substance nicknamed the cuddle hormone, which helps us feel safe and close. Babies can recognize their mom's voice right after they're born. There are so many ways to show love: with words, a hug, a smile, or a homemade drawing. All around the world, the heart is a symbol of love and friendship.
