This year I'm having fun getting the kids in the Valentine spirit. We're watching Valentines cartoons on youtube, reading books on love and friendship at bedtime, etc. etc. Anyhow, I thought I'd share some resources with you. Online games and activities: http://blackdog.net/holiday/valentine/ - includes heart mazes and other games and activities. http://www.thecolor.com/Category/Coloring/Valentines%20Day.a spx - online interactive coloring pages. http://www.starfall.com/n/holiday/valentine/play.htm?f - Make a valentine (for readers) http://iheart.despair.com/motivator.php - add text to make a realistic candy heart visual. http://www.hiyah.net/valentines/valentine08/shell.swf - a powerpoint slide show that kids can flip through using the space bar. Shows decorations, kids painting hearts, lots more. Takes awhile to load. Designed for kids who don't know how to use the mouse. Online videos: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jnv0m1egzl4 - Underdog "Simon Says: Be My Valentine" part 1 (of 4). My boys loved it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2iIir6nBu90 - Donald's Valentines Dollar. My boys liked it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJcAelz3iCo - Darkwing Duck, My Valentine's Ghoul, part 1. My boys liked it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndOkojWlwnY - Donald Duck in "Mr. Duck Steps Out" Online books and stories: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3so-MnZr-WA - a mom reading aloud Clifford the Big Red Dog's Valentines book http://www.lil-fingers.com/hearts/ - animated book with animated hearts. For reading out loud.
http://specialchildren.about.com/od/needinspiration/ig/Notes -of-Encouragement/ Sample social stories: http://www.djusd.k12.ca.us/pioneer/lburgos/SocialStories.htm - making a Valentine, no illustrations. http://www.setbc.org/pictureset/resources/making_cards/makin g_and_giving_cards.pdf - making and giving cards, with PECS-like illustrations. Any other resources? 
It's that time of year again. Get into the spirit with these resources. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pJcAelz3iCo - Darkwing Duck, My Valentine's Ghoul, part 1. My boys liked it. DArkwing duck!? Am I reading this right, I mean... I watched this show when I was little, is it still on er something, I kinda doubt it? This was a kick @$$ show when I was little, but do little kids today know this show?I just had to watch to be sure thats the one. Indeed, I used to watch that show when I was 7, I remember the beginning and the characters, but dont recall this particula episode and doubt I would remeber any of them, i watched lots of cartoons but never understood or really got what was happening, probably an ASD thing at that age. Anyways, when I was little that wasnt on the disney channel like it must be now which is where this youtube came from it looks like. It was on regular basic after school. that was awsome, I had a good time watching that clip, but part 3 didnt load for some reason, I may try again cause it was so fun to watch it after almost 20 years, I cant beleive its still on TV!!! Heh... thanks Norway you really made my day today  You're welcome, woodsman. They've shown Darkwing Duck occasionally on the Norwegian channel. Even if a kid has never seen the character before, kids like cartoons in general so they'll watch it. Sometimes the old cartoons are too slow-paced for kids today, though.
