Valentine’s Day Printable Roundup for Kids

Unless you’ve decided to become the big-meanie sugar police on Valentine’s Day you probably expect that your children will, at some point, come crashing down from a sugar high or two, or ten.

 

How about we provide a little balance with some fun, heart-themed, sugar-free activities that also sneak in a little extra cognitive enrichment?  You know, the kind of learning development that ISN’T happening when our kids are hyped up on candy.

Twelve Months of Visual Memory Matching Games for Kids

Three illustrated memory matching games: hearts, insects, digraphs If you don’t need all 12 months of games, see the next item on the list below.  And remember, memory matching game cards don’t HAVE to be used only for memory matching games.

 

Write messages on the back and use them as lunchbox notes.

 

Cut them in half and let your child draw the other half.  This might sound like a fun art project but it also builds visual closure skills.

 

Instead of playing the traditional memory game, use 2-7 different cards in a row.  Show the row of cards for 2-7 seconds and see how many your child can remember.  This helps strengthen visual sequential memory skills.

 

Use the cards as part of a collage for a new theme every month.

 

The possibilities are unlimited.
