Heart Tree Craft

This may be my very favorite Valentine’s Day craft for toddlers! Have some heart stickers or foam hearts laying around? Turn them into a Heart Tree!

This printable activity is super simple and can be completed again and again! I recommend printing the tree on cardstock for durability.

February Centers

These simple centers are perfect for toddlers and preschoolers to learn with during the month of February.

Play Dough Mats

Play dough mats are a great activity for toddlers and preschoolers. These donut-themed shape mats are perfect for the sweet month of February. Little ones will practice making the following shapes: a circle, a triangle, a square, a heart, a star, and a rectangle.

First, I recommend teaching toddlers how to roll a “snake” to play dough and then teaching them how to twist the dough to form different shapes.

Size Sorting

Size sorting is a strong cognitive skill and a developmental milestone that should be practiced by toddlers. Using sorting cards helps toddlers learn to sort items into groups and practice classifying objects. It also develops math vocabulary.

Counting Cards

Some toddlers are preschoolers are ready to practice counting objects and recognizing numbers. These counting cards are cupcake themed and a fun addition to your classroom. They are great for working with small groups of students or can even be created as a class and displayed during the month.

Toddler February Worksheets

Tracing lines is a pre-requisite skill to writing! Tracing these simple lines is a great activity for little ones. I recommend letting toddlers use a washable non-toxic marker. It is smoother for writing and won’t break!
