Well, one plus one equals two. Just kidding. Valentine’s Day Themed Addition and Subtraction Booklet I mean Valentine’s Math isn’t much different than any other math, but at the very least it’s a cute little opportunity to sell math practice to your kids. One of mine had zero interest in math for years, so sometimes that meant adding some manipulable toys or tools to help make it tangible, or real. Whatever works sometimes to get them through. I hope you each have a beautiful Valentine’s Day with your family. There sure is a lot to celebrate about February. Valentine’s Day, Family Day, and more. Plus, Heart Health Awareness Month, Black History Month and Chinese New Year. Valentine’s Day is just a fun day to show people you love them or to express to friends that you care. These days, those little reminders of love are more than welcome and necessary. The world benefits when we share joy and love and messages of hope.  Check Out My Valentines too! FYI, I have some adorable Star Wars Valentine’s cards you might want to share this year. It sure is not the usual Valentine’s Day and boy am I ever getting tired of saying that, but it’s still a good chance to celebrate love and family. FYI, don’t miss this Valentine’s Day Colouring Page too. I hope you have a lovely time sharing a romantic dinner and I hope you get candy, and/ or flowers too. Anyways, this year I have an easy and thrifty gift for you to give someone special. As always this is family friendly, but also could be adults only if you wanted the booklet to be. It is three pages so be sure to print each page out. You can easily get my entire Valentine’s coupon booklet. Here’s How to Access This Cute Valentine’s Math Page Printable: Just download it to your computer and print off the pages.

So, here’s a great little seahorse worksheet for you to share with your kids. These tiny swimmers are a natural marvel of the undersea environment. Have you ever seen one in an aquarium or up close while snorkelling or scuba diving? If so, I want to hear about it. But First the Seahorse Facts There are about 40 known species of seahorses. Seahorse males carry the babies, as you will see below. In fact, they are the only species on earth where the male carries the babies. They live in coral reefs, mangroves and sheltered underwater environments that offer natural camouflage from predators. They have prehensile tails….(that means they can use their t ails like a limb, not unlike a monkey tail.) They use their tails to anchor themselves to sea grasses and coral. Also, these prehensile tails mean they can anchor themselves to things when a strong current comes by and they will not be swept away with the current. These adorable seahorse creatures often swim in pairs with tails intertwined. (isn’t that cute?) What’s the snout for? For eating, of course. Lengthy snouts allow them to suck up plankton and small crustaceans. Their snouts act as a vacuum cleaner. Print Out This Seahorse Lifecycle Worksheet Ten More Seahorse Facts: 7. They use the small fin on their back to propel themselves. It moves up to 35 times per second. 8. The lifespan of a seahorse can be 1 – 5 years. 9. Did you know that seahorses mate for life and are very monogamous? That’s a great new word for some of the kids to learn( which basically means mates for life and has one partner for life.) 10. I bet you din’t know that seahorses are fish. They live underwater, breathe through gills and have a sea bladder. 11. Baby seahorses are called seahorse fry. When my kids were small they had a great little book about animals and their babies and it talked about what every animal grouping is called. The coolest one of all was crows….did you know that a group of crows is called a murder. A murder of crows. 12. Eyesight of a seahorse is incredible. 13. There are about 54 species of seahorses worldwide. 14. A threatened species? Many people might not know that seahorses are under threat worldwide. Often seahorses and crabs are taken from the shallow waters where they swim and left to dry out then are made into souvenirs. Sometimes, they are also used in Chinese medicine. 15. Less than 1 in 1,000 born survive due to predators. …Are you into seahorses? Check out this adorable Seahorse print pillow. 16. These clever creatures change colour to match their surroundings and during courtship rituals. Don’t Miss this Eric Carle Seahorse book for preschoolers. It is a classic picture book about fatherhood and of course it has the most amazing colourful illustrations. What Do Seahorses Eat? Plankton and small crustaceans are the foods of choice. Each seahorse can also consume unto 3,000 brine shrimp a day – those are the extremely tiny shrimp that come in those tiny little Sea Monkeys kits that people used to buy. We had one here once and it was actually fun for the kids to watch those tiny critters. Looking for More Seahorse Facts?
