Will You Be My Valenswine? - Picture Book & Activity

Will You Be My Valenswine?

Will You Be My Valenswine? is a funny, rhyming story about a piglet who has no one to love. Everyone else in the barnyard has someone special, but not poor Polly. Read this fun book to find out who loves Polly the best.

Kids will giggle when they hear valenswine instead of valentine. Never fear, Polly finds her valenswine love. (Hint: M-o-m-m-y)

KID KANDY:

Sing a Valenswine song!

To the tune of "Merrily We Roll Along," sing:

Won't you be my valenswine,
Valenswine, valenswine,
Won't you be my valenswine,
Here's a heart for you!

Substitute valentine for valenswine for more holiday fun.

I love to let kids cut out construction paper hearts to go along with this song. Give each child a heart and sing the song. On the last line, let the kiddos trade hearts with each other. Make sure you get in on the heart trading fun!
