With Valentine's
Day right around the corner, Pinterest, email, and blogs overflow with
valentine crafts. Alas, many are also costly.
So, don't pay. Here are free printable preschool valentine worksheets,
games, crafts, learning activities and lesson plans. Fru-gals and fru-guys, use
these for Valentine's Day fun.
Over the Big Moon is a mom-blog with 31 pages of free printable preschool Valentine's Day worksheets. They've added an
extension pack with even more free printable preschool Valentine
lesson plans for children. These kits
are perfect for little ones ages 30 months to six. The activities are mostly
for pre-readers and emergent readers. All the activities have a valentine
theme.
To practice literacy and writing skills, there are letter tracing
sheets focusing on the letter "V", vocabulary cards, phonics
activities, word and sound matching and shadow letter tracing activities.
For early math skills reinforcement, there are valentine-themed
counting worksheets, sorting activities, pattern extensions and sequencing
games. There are several activities to develop visual acuity and eye hand
coordination, including spot-the-difference games, coloring pages and
four-piece puzzles. There are also several pages of cutting lines in different
patterns to help children practice scissor skills.
The packets are free to print from the Over the Big Moon website.
Or here's an alternate website with the same valentine printables. Directions are available. Valentine
graphics could be reused as DIY valentines. Have children cut out pictures and
glue on construction paper hearts.
For preschool classroom use, print activities in the craft center.
Or put printed activities in a folder. Use as homework or vacation activities.
Give as Valentine's Day gifts. Roll in recycled paper towel tube. Add a cute
valentine pencil, a few crayons, scissors and glue stick. Wrap in recycled
paper that children have decorated and tie the ends. Use for Valentine party
favors. Senior citizens may enjoy these activities too,
