Inside: Toddler and Preschool Valentine’s Day Ideas – Activities, songs, printables, and more!
During the first two weeks of February, we celebrate Valentine’s Day with lots of heart and friendship activities, feelings, and a post office in the dramatic play area.
This page shows some ideas that I will be considering when planning our circle times and centers time.
Please note that we will not be doing all of this in our classroom, but I wanted to give you a variety of ideas. Also, some of the activities might be more suitable for older preschoolers, so take that into consideration when selecting ideas.
