This week I set out to find if there’s more to kid-friendly Valentine’s Day poems than “Roses are red. Violets are blue.” The answer, thank goodness, is a resounding “Yes!” As proof, I present the following batch of sites. Happy Valentine’s Day!<\/p>\n

Apples4theteacher.com: Valentine's Day Poetry

Apples4theteacher.com houses several dozen poems that can be read aloud or included in homemade valentines. Although not all the rhymes are attributed, some of the well-known authors include Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (“I shot an arrow into the air, it fell to earth, I knew not where.”), Robert Louis Stevenson, and Winifred Sackville Stoner, Jr. (known for penning the rhyme “In 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.”)<\/p>\n

Brownielocks: Silly Valentine Poems for Kids

Brownielocks presents a compilation of poems (attributed to a variety of authors) and a link to another page of original valentine rhymes written by Brownielocks herself. “I’ve sent texts. \/ And I’ve called. \/ But you just don’t comprehend. \/ I want you to be my Valentine, \/ and not just a Facebook friend.” You’ll find the link to the second page near the bottom of the page, titled “Valentine Limericks or Rhymes.”<\/p>\n

Childfun: Valentine's Day Songs, Poems & Fingerplays for Kids

These Valentine’s Day poem activities are perfect for toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergartners. “H-E-A-R-T. Sung to: Bingo. To show you like your special friends \/ Just give them each a heart. \/ H-E-A-R-T \/ H-E-A-R-T \/ H-E-A-R-T \/ Each heart says I like you!” Below the poems and songs are links to Valentine’s Day crafts and party games.<\/p>\n
