How Do I Love Thee? Valentine Counting Activity

Let Me Count The Ways! Valentine Counting Activity

 Using things like candy for Valentine counting activities and other math activities is a fun and novel way to get your children or students interested and learning. These everyday objects can bring an adorable element of fun to working on important skills like counting. This activity keeps the theme of the season while sneaking in a bit of learning! Then, enjoy a tasty treat after finishing the activity! How is that for efficiency? (Important note: do not ever eat candy if handled by multiple children. Keep some extra for snacktime!)

We love sharing links from other great bloggers who have awesome activities for learning with little ones. Jennifer over at Ramblings of A Crazy Woman shows us how to make this perfectly lovely Valentine’s counting game using heart candies! This activity is simple to set up and it’s adaptable for kids of different abilities to participate. It’s a fun and delicious way to help your little ones learn! For the full how-to for this project and a million more awesome ideas, take some time and head over to her blog. You’ll be so glad that you did!

    I randomly found a 10 sided dice in my house and had my kids take turns rolling, counting the # on the dice, then putting the candies on the correct heart. This one was easy and fun!
