Valentine Printable Activities
If you are looking for some simple and engaging activities for your kids this Valentine’s Day, you have come to the right place. Here are a few printables that are all free to download for personal use below. There is a candy heart alphabet hunt, X and O snack sort, love potion water play recipe, as well as some simple heart templates that can be used for more crafting fun. Hope these printables and ideas can help to add some simple and enjoyable fun for your kids this holiday season!
This simple alphabet mat is a fun way for preschoolers to work on letter recognition. Print once onto cardstock and once onto sticker paper. You can cut the letters out and stick them onto candy kisses and hide for kids to find and match. You can use also use alphabet erasers, magnetic alphabet letters, or felt letter stickers from the Dollar Tree. The letters can be hidden in a sensory base like rice dyed for the season or around the house for kids to find. Kids can then either mark off the letters they find or cover with small manipulatives like candy, beans, or cereal.
The heart from the above printable can also be used as a template to cut out onto clear contact paper to create suncatchers to brighten up your winter windows. Kids can use cut up tissue paper squares to fill in their hearts. My kids have also used old flowers in the past as well.
This file is best printed out onto white cardstock. You can slip it into a heavy duty sheet protector to make it last longer. Just grab a bag of seasonal utx X and O shaped pretzels and let kids sort. This is a wonderful snacktivity for toddlers and preschoolers. Sorting is a wonderful activity for young children as it helps them to categorize, reason, and problem solve. This activity can be extended further with counting, comparing quantities, and introducing subtraction by eating X and Os.
I also made a printable for making a love potion that can be taken outside and paired with water play. This printable is best printed out onto white cardstock and slipped into a laminated pouch or heavy duty sheet protector. Kids can use a dry erase marker to change out the numbers of each item in their recipe for love. I found most of the items at the Dollar Tree and formed the rest out of pipe cleaners and pom poms. This is an activity that my kids all really enjoy even in winter weather. I just fill up their water table with warm to hot water and my kids have spent many afternoons this February concocting love potion to serve. If you don’t have a water table, plastic storage tubs work as a great substitute.
Lastly I made a simple heart template that can be used for so many simple craft activities. We have used it as a template to cut out cardboard hearts to decorate with dot markers and paint markers. I have also hole punched them for my kids to lace. You can also use it as a template to cut out onto scratch art paper or onto black paper for kids to decorate using oil pastels.
