Preschool Printables for Valentine’s Day
I love to celebrate holidays with my students, and Valentine’s Day stands out as one of my favorites. As an adult, you either love Valentine’s Day, or you hate it, but little one’s haven’t yet developed a reason to hate it. I love that I get to encourage my students to share their love with everyone, and they’re happy to do so! Over the years I’ve collected a ridiculous amount of Valentine’s Day activities, but my favorites are the one’s that I’ve put together for my students. Each year I’ve tweaked them just a bit and I am so proud of the collection that I’ve put together, so I had…

Our Valentines
If anyone is looking for a great Valentine’s Day gift that kids can make, here’s what we did this year: These turned out even cuter than I had imagined, I would love to get one of these (if I had kids of my own, that is).

The kids punched the hearts – they got to choose how many they wanted to put in their jar,…

I know you’ve seen this one on Pinterest, that’s where I first saw the idea. I was sure the boys would love it, but I was wholly unprepared for the mess that it would make. The idea is that you put a piece of paper on a tray or cookie sheet, then stretch rubberbands across the tray.…

Valentine math game
This is a super easy number recognition and matching game that I found on Pinterest and adapted for our classroom. I’ll tell you my version, and you can check out my pin boards for the original! First I traced a large heart on a sheet of paper, then I made 15 dots around the edge of the heart with a bingo marker. You could do more or less depending on the needs of your class, my guys really need to work on the teens. I then used the same color bingo marker to mark the bottoms of 15 Hershey kisses. I made three game using three different colors so that…
