Hi there Readers!

This month's letter comes from Sunny California.. the land where, when listening to the "wave" on the radio, you "board the No Stress Express"

Where.... an overhead street sign which reads "Xing- Ped", is not the name of some exotic location but a pedestrian crossing sign. A place.... where a sign on the street close by, begs drivers to "grace and space your pace... pets and people at play"...!

What a great place to be on Valentine's Day and Granny Look wants to "share" this happy moment with you!

First, a little history lesson for the children, log on to www.kiddyhouse.com/valentines or www.enchantedlearning.com/crafts/ valentine/ and learn about the origin of St Valentine's Day.

To see how the US celebrates this special day, click onto www.stvalentinesday.org/valentines-day-in-us.html.

Granny Look suggests parents and grandparents take a look at www.mailjust4me.com/valentine.htm for ideas, www.freekidscoloring.com for drawing and colouring Valentine cards and www.greatdad.com/ valentinesday for getting parents to help their children prepare special Valentine day activities.

Click on "Valentine's day" when logging on to www.buildabear.co.uk for wonderful ways to make or buy a special Teddy Bear. Maybe one for Mum!
