Valentine’s Day Printables and Activities for Kids

As you can imagine I’ve done a lot of Valentine’s Day content over the years (see, for example, heart activities and Valentine’s Day STEM, to name a couple) so this year I thought I’d share something different with a bunch of Valentine’s Day printable activities.

Learn Grow Aspire has a nice set of printable activity mats that include coloring, a word scramble, word search, I-spy, spot the difference and more. One sheet (shown above) has a bunch of activities but there are others that include tracing and coloring.

Another activity sheet that’s like a placemat is from XOXO Erin Smith. This one includes a word search, maze, things to color and a few tic tac toe boards. Classic. She also has coloring pages and an I spy page.

Connect the dots on cute Valentine’s Day critters with these printables from The Artisan Life. The love bug is my favorite!

Unscramble words, work a big maze and do a Valentine’s Day themed crossword puzzle with these printables from Artsy Fartsy Mama.

Get a bunch of educational worksheets for preschool from Preschool Play and Learn. These include things like tracing hearts, roll a color, shape learning, patterns, letter recognition, counting and more. Great for use in the classroom or at home.

Looking for fun ideas for older kids? Brain Waves Instruction has a bunch of ideas for using a valentine theme to review vocabulary, do timed writing, spelling, and learning about Valentine’s Day. Many of the projects are found at Teachers Pay Teachers if you don’t want to personalize it for your own class.

And Raise the Bar Reading has some cute low-prep ideas for elementary students, including making a creature based on your answers to questions about Valentine’s Day, a classroom activity full of love, people bingo with a Valentine’s theme and some sweet writing prompts.

How do you use Valentine’s Day in the classroom or for learning activities at home? I’d love to hear about it!

After sharing some witch themed math activities, I found a bunch more fun printable worksheets with a Halloween theme for kids to try, so let’s take a look at some more low-prep Halloween learning fun.

Give kids practice measuring bats, spiders, ghosts and more with these printables from What I Have Learned Teaching. Kids can use a ruler, unit cubes or even little Halloween themed erasers to measure and track the size of the images.

Practice symmetry by drawing half a haunted house, ghost, skull or other simple images with this activity from Printables Hub.

I always love a good roll and draw activity, too, so check out this roll and draw a ghost activity (which has printable instructions) from Finding Myself Young.

Missy Printable Design has a cute set of Halloween worksheets for preschool, including tracing the letter H and a haunted house, spider counting, number tracing, sequencing, coloring pages and more.

The Halloween themed printables from The Artisan Life are meant to be playdough mats, and you can definitely use them for that to make the shape and trace the letters. But you could also use pipe cleaners or Wikki Stix, or line up buttons or anything else on them.

Older kids will enjoy this witch’s brew logic puzzle from Education.com. The witch has made different potions with different colors that do different things, and using the clues you can figure out which one is which. (Don’t worry; there’s an answer key included if you can’t figure it out on your own!)

Another fun puzzle is this decoder activity from Crafting Cheerfully. The holiday icons each represent a letter, and kids can use the decoder to answer the riddle. This isn’t a free resource (and the link in the post is broken but you can find it here) but it includes 20 riddles and an editable file so you can make up your own codes to decipher.
