My daycare parents are usually very good. I didn't request or expect treats to be brought. They were told several times we were doing cards. Dollar store quality would suffice. Lesson learned-I will have extra cards on hand. I didn't realize she didn't have them until we started circle-I just assumed they were in her bag. All the other parents brought cards/treats for the group, and included myself and my own schoolage kids too. Very thoughtful, but unnecessary.
I had all kinds of cards/treats/activities that went into the loot bags that I provided for them, so it kind of distracted her later when she saw the bags.
We did lots of fun stuff with pink bubbles in the sensory bin/pink food colouring spray bottles in the snow/made and decorated homemade heart cookies/did a choc. heart scavenger hunt/valentines art/valentines books and songs, so I hope that made up for it.
