Happy Valentine's Day! If your house is anything like mine, you probably have an overabundance of sugar right now with all of the sweet treats that your little ones have received from classmates, friends, neighbors, and grandparents. Of course, your kids will want to indulge in some of the candy, but here are a few more fun projects to do with those classic little conversation hearts.
1. This little guy worked on standing independently and maintaining balance while throwing hearts into a bowl. He loved it and stayed focused on his goal for several minutes! For older kids, you could put the bowl further away, or scatter different colored bowls around the floor and have kids throw the hearts into the matching bowl.
2. Practice color matching by matching candy hearts with colored hearts on a piece of paper. So easy to prep (I used Microsoft Word, but you could just as easily just draw hearts on a paper with crayons or markers) and a great skill to practice!
3. Practice your fine motor skills by writing words out with glue and placing hearts along the line to make letters. You can work on writing letters using the correct formation, as well as perfecting your grasp, while having fun and making colorful art!
