Description

A hands-on play-based Valentines kids activity pack for toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergartners to promote fine motor control, logic, numeracy skills, scissor practice, spatial awareness, and more!

With this 57- page Valentine’s Kids Activity Pack, CLICK | PRINT | GO and keep little people happily engaged! I know, you know and your children know that workbooks are boring! That is why I created this hands-on activity pack where little hands will be dotting, imprinting, connecting, clipping, gluing, matching, and manipulating!  Experiential learning or “learning by doing” is an essential constituent of the Montessori teaching method.

This is a single-family use! Print as many copies for your own children but please do not share with friends and do not use this printable as a classroom resource!

**VALENTINES KIDS ACTIVITY PACK IMAGES.001

*THIS IS A DIGITAL DOWNLOAD * No physical product is being shipped.

I included 2 PDFs – one compressed (9MB) and the other full (43 MB) but choose one since they are identical. The larger file might take longer to download, but it will have higher resolution images.

PRINT on 8.5 x 11″ letter size paper in LANDSCAPE. *Make sure to check off “fit to printable area.” Follow the instructions on each page.

This pack was carefully designed to stimulate the senses and engage children in ACTIVE learning to support early development. Hands-on activities encourage “experiential” learning, as opposed to the more traditional comparably passive model of lecture and drill exercises. With this Mega 57-page pack, repetition is accomplished by having a variety of prompts with which to practice the same concept, thus leading to mastery of the concept. Trust me, with this Valentine’s Kids Activity Pack, little hands will be engaged in a wide range of activities, triggering various skills while keeping the absorbing minds soaking up information intuitively, spontaneously, and with ease!

Tips and Hacks to Use The Printable

  • To laminate, you can use an iron instead of a laminating machine. (Love these thermal laminating pouches). HOW: set your iron at low temperature, as if you would iron silk. To be safe, place plain paper OVER the laminating sheet and iron over it. (See HERE how I did it making a flower bookmark.)
  • Alternatively, you can use sheet protectors and insert your pages into it, and then use a dry erase marker
  • For a quicker and more precise straight cutting, I am using a paper trimmer instead of scissors.
  • *Laminated corners can be pocky, so use a corner rounder.
