Dry Erase Board Shapes:
Is it a heart or not? That is to be determined. With this activity you can do things like draw a bunch of shapes, with hearts mixed in and have them point to all the hearts on the dry erase board. You could also have your little tot identify all of the shapes. Another great idea you could do with a dry erase board and some markers is draw a big heart, and have them make it disappear by tracing it with the eraser. Honestly this method would also work for teaching any shape. Shop all of our favorite Preschool Supplies here:

V is for Valentine: Valentine Preschool Activities
Will you be my valentine and join me for a preschool activity? Here’s a really simple one. You can either print out a fun worksheet here, or you can bubble letter a V and write “is for valentines” if you don’t have a printer handy (or if yours has run out of ink like mine almost always does!). Have your little one color it, trace it, or fill it in with some crafty stickers! This year we did something fun, and filled it in with Fruit Loops!
Cute Valentines Pipe People!
This one is an interesting one, with endless possibilities ranging from counting to creative play, to fine moter skills. So you can get red, pink, and white pipe cleaners and bend them into the shape of stick figures. as you and your littles are doing this you can have them count out beads, bend the pipe cleaners themselves, or turn them into puppets and put on a play when you are done! (P.S. they would also look cute on valentines!
