Hearts, hugs and kind words
For preschoolers, Valentine's Day is all about kindness and friendship. They learn to share cards, say kind words, and notice how good it feels to make someone smile. It's also a sweet time to practice early skills: matching hearts, counting candy hearts, naming colors like red and pink, and spotting the heart shape everywhere. The cute "aha" is when a little one realizes that giving a card feels just as happy as getting one.
Keep it simple, sweet and full of hearts. These are our favorite moves.
Start the day with a Valentine's song and add simple motions, like making a heart with your hands. Sing it again before passing out cards. It sets a kind, happy mood for the whole day.
Why it works: words set to a repeating melody are easier to recall than the same words spoken (Wallace, 1994).

Why it works: children learn more from words and pictures together than from words alone (Mayer, 2009).

Why it works: playful practice with a clear goal keeps kids practicing longer, and simple learning games have been shown to build real skills (Ramani and Siegler, 2008).

Most classrooms ask families to bring a card for every child so no one feels left out. It's a great lesson in kindness.
Fold paper, add heart stickers, and let kids scribble or stamp their name. Little ones are proud of anything they make by themselves.
