Clover Kids make valentines for nursing home residents

This month’s Wright County 4-H Clover Kids theme was gifts from the heart. Members met last week and learned about generosity and proper measuring. Each Clover Kid made two valentine love bugs- one to keep and one to give. Kids and volunteers made 55 valentines for a nursing home in Belmond. Kids were very excited to give something to Grandpas and Grandmas in hopes it would bring a smile to their faces. Clover Kids enjoyed story time, snacks, and making a gift jar with ingredients to make homemade white chocolate chip oatmeal cookies.

“Sometimes the most meaningful gifts are those that are handmade and unique,” County Youth Coordinator Krystal Schnabel.

Clover Kids is a fun 4-H program specifically designed for children in kindergarten through third grade. Clover Kids fosters positive relationships and builds valuable life skills through a variety of hands-on activities. New members are welcomed anytime during the year.
