Let your toddler work his or her wiggles out with this fun Valentine’s Day gross motor game. Cut large hearts out and lay them on the floor. You can make a line or mix them up.

12. Musical Hearts

Instead of musical chairs, make paper hearts! Write an activity such as hop up and down, sing the ABCs, or fly like a bird to each heart. Set the hearts up in a circle (or heart shape!) on the floor. As your toddler/preschooler listens to music, have them freeze on a heart when the music stops. Then do the fun action written on the card.

Tip: laminate it for extra strength!

14. Valentine’s Day Books

Grab some fun Valentine’s themed books from your local library or order a few with 2 day delivery from Amazon! It’s always fun and special for kids when they get a special book for a holiday, and a great way to enhance their love of learning.
