Five Awesome Valentine's Day Activities for Preschoolers
Love Letters

Practice spelling and reading familiar words or letter and sound recognition using envelopes and a set of alphabet tiles or manipulatives. Make it as fancy or as DIY as you want or need. Attach the materials to a wall to create a vertical activity for extra physical development benefits and whole body engagement!
Need ready-to-print hands on learning materials that can be laminated and reused for all kinds of literacy, math, & social-emotional learning fun? Check out the February Is For Hearts Preschool Learning Pack, and keep student engagement high without spending hours searching, brainstorming, & creating materials from scratch!
Love Notes

Create a craft and writing station with the supplies necessary for children to write kind notes to friends and family members. Whether drawing pictures, scribbling, or writing simple words or phrases, spreading love and joy to others through writing is a great way to encourage fine motor and early literacy skills!
Cupcake Counting

Combining sensory play with counting is a great way to encourage early math skills! Of course, you can easily adapt a learning invitation like the one above using any sweet treat, sensory bin filler, and number cards. Plus you can differentiate for skill level to focus on larger numbers, adding, subtracting, or any other mathematical focus!
Love Potions

Preschoolers love investigating cause and effect, chemical reactions, and building their fine motor skills through fizzy play! Baking soda, vinegar, and food coloring are all you need to create bubbling potions that early learners will enjoy engaging with over and over again!
Heart-Themed CVC Word Sorts & Practice

Give your emergent readers the chance to practice reading in a hands-on, thematic way that is engaging and fun! Whether sorting words by word family, listening for onset/rime, differentiating using the blank template, or working on spelling and writing, this resource is a favorite of mine! Preschoolers and teachers love the vibrant colors and inclusive images in this resource that can be used all month long. If you want to check it out, head over to my TpT shop and see what inspires you and your kids!
Counting Chocolate

Using one of my favorite books, How Does Our Food Grow? by Brooke Jorden & Kaye Widdowson, we talked about where chocolate comes from, and then we did some cookie and chocolate counting, adding, and fractional parts work. This is so easy to adapt and differentiate for various ages and skills, making it perfect for a multi-age group or home setting!

Breathe From The Heart

I always love creating and using thematic deep breathing mats for our early learners because it keeps them engaged and willing to try new mindfulness strategies! We paired this deep breathing mat with Call Your Mother, which is such a sweet book by Tracy C. Gold.
Remembering that you have a safety and support net, whether it’s your mother or somebody else in your life, is a powerful mindfulness strategy that helps us remember we aren’t alone during the hard times. It also helps us to show our children the power of being that safe place for somebody else.
