Everyone knows Max loves playing games and eating sweets. And so do preschoolers! For this Valentine's Day game, all you'll need is a bag of sweetheart candies, some large spoons, and 4 small bowls.



What You Need
4 small bowls
Sweetheart candies (or red-hot hearts or other Valentine candies)
2 large spoons or ladles



What You Do

Step 1
Designate a starting line and a finish line. Set out two empty bowls at one end and a bowlful of sweetheart candies for each player at the other end.



Step 2
Each players must hop like a bunny to one of the full bowls, use a spoon to scoop the candy out, and hop back to empty the candy into a bowl. Players cannot use their hands or pick up dropped candies! The player with the most candies in the bowl at the finish line wins.



Step 4 (optional)
To make the game harder, make a rule that contestants cannot use their dominant hand to scoop or carry the candy or that contestants must hop on one foot.
