Today’s learning activity for preschoolers is easy to set-up, fun, and educational. Our heart tissue paper by number activity helps reinforce a child’s understanding of basic numbers, color matching, as well as improve fine motor skills. All it takes to get started is a few basic materials you probably have lying around craft table + love! C really enjoyed our turkey tissue paper by number craft, so we thought we’d try it for Valentine’s Day too!
- Heart Template (scale 140%)
- Tissue Paper – Red, Pink, White
- Black Marker
- Numbers 1, 2, 3
Print out your heart template above and add your numbered sections. We chose three colors of tissue paper, but to make it more complex just add more colors and numbers. C helped me cut the tissue squares, but ripping them would be a beneficial sensory activity as well. Assign your color order – great for the kiddos to do!
Just continue around the heart until you’re all done. This makes a fun valentines card as well, big or small. SImply scale the heart template before printing, than cut and glue it to a folded blank card.
Does your child love hands-on math activities? Our DIY Geoboard is great for learning math, shapes, and developing fine motor skills. Looking for more Valentine’s Day crafts?
