Preschoolers feel loved when their parents spend time with them. Here are some ways to accomplish that this month.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make a Craft<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Create a heart-shaped stamp by shaping the end of a cardboard toilet paper or paper towel roll into a heart. This is a list of<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.housingaforest.com\/heart-tube-stamping\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400\">10 ideas<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> for using the stamp.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Make a Snack<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Use a heart-shaped cookie cutter to cut bread, Rice Krispy treats, or other foods into heart shapes. Decorate heart-shaped cookies. Work on fine motor skills by making a strawberry fruit kabob.<\/span><\/p>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Do a Literacy Activity<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Cornelia Augusta realizes that hearts are perfect for making valentines in the book <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">The Day it Rained Hearts<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> by Felicia Bond<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. She carefully inspects each one and chooses just the right heart for each of her friends to create Valentine\u2019s Day cards. After reading the story, parents and preschoolers can practice sight words together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Materials Needed: 20 paper hearts, a marker, 5 envelopes, tape, and a basket<\/span><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Pick 5 sight words that the child needs to practice. On each paper heart, write a sight word. Each word will be used four times. (The child could also help write the words.)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">On the back of each envelope, write one of the same sight words.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Tape each envelope to a door in the house. (The back side of the envelope with the sight word should face out, so the child can see it.)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Scatter the hearts on the floor like it has just rained.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Have the child collect the hearts into a basket and then deliver them to the correct envelope.<\/span><b>\u00a0<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h4><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Do a Math Activity<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Conversation hearts can be used to practice counting, sorting, or arranging based on different characteristics. They can also be used as a non-standard way to measure items around the house.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Preschoolers will have fun, learn something new, and feel loved after spending time with their parents doing these Valentine\u2019s Day activities.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you enjoyed this blog and want to read more, click below for our blog from last month!<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"><br \/>\n<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/kidsrkids.com\/missouri-city\/2021\/01\/04\/online-resources-for-preschoolers\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Online Resources for Preschoolers<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Want to learn more about<\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.kidsrkidsmissouricity.com\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> Kids \u2018R\u2019 Kids Learning Academy of Missouri City<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> located in Missouri City, Texas?
