FREE Valentine's Activity Bundle

We've got a bundle of printables for you. This time with a Valentine's theme ❤️

These activities are designed for children ages 2-5.

For children younger than two, check out this post with five infant Montessori activities, also Valentine's themed: https://themontessoriroom.com/blogs/montessori-tips/montessori-valentines-day-activities

Just note, I'm not encouraging you to do every single activity. In fact, it wouldn't even be possible since there's activities for a range of ages.

Hopefully you can find just 1-2 that your child enjoys!

1. Heart Matching

Recommended for ages 2-4

Cut the hearts in half and match the two sides, either by colour, pattern, or number of circles.

This is a great way to learn colours, develop visual discrimination skills, and practice counting.

Print one sheet at a time and cut out the hearts, then cut each heart in half.

For younger children, offer just 2-3 hearts at a time, adding more at they continue to master them.

2. Heart Dot Printable

3. Valentine's Day Shadow Matching Cards

4. Sorting By Size - Small/Medium/Large

Recommended for ages 2-4

Another great activity to develop visual discrimination. Print all three pages in the doc and cut out the 24 squares.

Sort the cards into three piles - small, medium, and large.

For younger children, start with just two sizes, the small and large and 2-3 different images. You can add more images, as well as the medium size images, as your child masters more of them.

5. Heart Symmetry and Cutting Activity

 

6. Valentine's Day Cutting Strips

Recommended for ages 3-4

Cutting strips are a great way to practice cutting for young children.

You, the adult, can prep this activity by cutting them lengthwise.

This allows your children to cut each image with one snip. The success of this builds their confidence.

The snips can also be used after, for gluing activities.

7. Counting and Number Symbols - Part 1

Recommended for ages 3-4

Print the sheet at cut out each of the 4 boxes. Have your child count the items in each box and then circle the corresponding number symbol below.

In a Montessori classroom, an activity like this would be done with clothespins, where the child clips the clothespin over the correct number symbol. This is a great way to add fine motor development into the activity.

8. Counting and Number Symbols - Part 2

Recommended for ages 3-5

This 2-page printable is a great next step to Part 1. In this printable, the number symbol is not provided so children are required to count the items and then write the number symbol on the left.  

For children newer to number symbols, start by only offering page 1, with quantities of 1-4. Once they have mastered this page, add in page 2.
