Letter V/ Valentine's Day Preschool Theme

Happy Valentine's Day!  Today we talked about the letter V and Valentine's.  Be sure to check out what we did yesterday with a heart theme.

The main source of our activities today comes from Confessions of a Homeschooler's V is for Valentine Prek Printable Pack.

 Over the Big Moon's Valentine's Day Pre-K Pack has  a lot of fun and cute activities.

 Musings of Me also has a Valentine's Day Unit with lots of preschool activities.

 Homeschool Creation's has a Valentine's Day Printable Pack that has some great activities.

 Lawteedah also has a Valentine Tot-Kit worth looking into.  2 Teaching Mommie's Sweetheart Pack is also full of some fun activities. 3 Dinosaur's has a Valentine Printable Pack as well.  You can also check out my 2012 post about Valentine printables.

We had a great time with this little valentine craft.  My son cut out paper in any shape and size that he wanted and then glued it onto a paper.  After he did that I cut it into a heart shape.

 Here are some more heart crafts and ideas to check out.  Here is a fun hand print card to do with your child.

Here are 10 of my favorite children's books about love.  Have a wonderful Valentine's Day!

Letter H/Hearts Preschool Theme

Today we talked about the letter H and hearts!  There are so many great ideas out there surrounding Valentine's Day, hearts, and love so I thought I would break it up by focusing in on the letter H and hearts today and do more valentine stuff tomorrow (although there will be hearts involved with that as well).

File Folder Fun has a heart pattern game that is fun.

 Many of the preschool printable packs I used today will also be used tomorrow with different activities.  These activities come from Homeschool Creation's Valentine's Printable Pack and Over the Big Moon's Valentine's Day Pre-K Pack.

 These activities are from 2 Teaching Mommies Sweetheart pack.

 My son enjoyed using the candy with these printables and answering the questions about them.

These cute heart activities come from Musings of Me's Valentine Unit.

 This is a heart matching game I made many years ago and have used every year since.

 This is a fun game for counting and number recognition.  I made this a few years ago as well.  The idea came from here.

 Then my son practiced cutting out hearts.  I drew a line for him and then let him go to town on the cutting.

 He had a lot of fun cutting out hearts and decided he wanted to make his dad one.  I don't think you can see it in the picture very well, but he wrote on it and gave it to his dad.

 Finally we made a heart man.  We had a lot of fun putting this together and deciding what hearts to put where. He is now proudly hanging up in our kitchen.

For some more heart ideas you can check out my blog post from 2011.
