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. <p>

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

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.  Join today by calling your local Iowa State University Extension and Outreach Wright County office at 515-532-3453 or emailing schnabel@iastate.edu.
