Preschool Valentine Activities: Valentine Games, Art, and Cooking

Is your house full of pink, white, and red yet? Mine is …  homemade funny Valentine’s Day cards (each one has a special Valentine’s Day joke); heart cutouts and pink paint are being left all over. (Big M was digging through my art boxes looking for Valentine supplies a week ago… I guess he has something special in mind).

Preschool Valentine activities have been filling my feed, from Valentine’s cooking to Valentine’s Day math. I just couldn’t wait to share some of them with you!

In addition to these Valentine’s activities, you can do a Valentine’s Day open ended art activity for preschoolers and then leave the materials out for any time creating.

Preschool Valentine Activities: 4 Valentine Games

• We had so much fun making our Valentine’s Memory Game (when I still had a preschooler), and it still gets used every Valentine’s. How cool is that?
• Need to burn some energy? Heart Hop: Valentine’s games for toddlers to get those little legs moving.
• All you need is some dice and beans from the pantry for Kids Activities Blog’s Heart Math Game.
• Hand On: As we Grow is known for her awesome scavenger hunts. I think this Valentine’s Heart Hunt is my favorite!

Preschool Valentine Activities: 4 Valentine Art Projects

• Big Heart Valentine Art happened when this Mom got too complicated with a Valentine’s plan. The kids hated it, and I was reminded that simple is always better.
• Did you know you can make craft sticks bend??? We made these fun Store- bought Valentine’s bracelets.
• Contact Paper Hearts. What an easy afternoon craft (especially great for little hands).
• Fun process + decoration…. I love these Heart Window Clings from Coffee Cups and Crayons.

Preschool Valentine Activities: 4 Valentine Cooking Ideas

• Secret time? A lot of our neighbors hand out cookies every Christmas… I don’t. One year, I felt a little guilty and made adorable Homemade Fortune Cookies to pass around in February. I think all is forgiven.
• Sweet Heart Smores are perfect for an afternoon snack!
• The Educators’ Spin On It even gets creative in the kitchen… these Heart Pancakes are super cute.
• Let the kids have some fun Dipping Valentine Treats for themselves and their classmates. This one is from Not Just Cute.
