February 2012
Groundhogs and hearts and Presidents and more! Just as February brings a variety of nationally recognized holidays and celebrations, Thomas the Tank Engine delivers lots of fun ways for parents and kids to spend time together!
Start the month with a Groundhog Day Celebration - have your child engineer some predictions of his own: Will Punxsutawney Phil forsee spring's early arrival at the station, or will he have us journey ahead with more winter weather?
Celebrate Valentine's Day by encouraging your #1 engine to show he cares with very useful, homemade gifts for family and teachers. Thomas Train Wheel Coasters are an easy , functional craft that uses recycled material.
Honor President's Day by teaching your child the different faces of former Presidents on our currency - sort pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters into Thomas Pencil Holders (they're good for more than just pencils).
Then find time to show him how Very Useful and special your #1 engine is. Cuddle up with a Thomas & Friends story like "Valentine's Day in Vicarstown" or "Thomas' Valentine Party"!
Happy February!
