10 Easy and cute Valentine’s Day Activities for Toddlers
Pom Poms Using Tweezers
You will Need:
- Tweezers
- Pom Poms
- Open Container – cup, bowl, bottle etc
This is a great fine motor pincer activity that your child can do to help develop the small muscles that control the hand, fingers, and thumb.
I had Evelyn use child-size tweezers to pick up the pom-poms and transfer them into her little felt container.

This activity goes hand on hand with the activity above. After focusing on fine motor, I had Evelyn sort the pom poms with the corresponding colored heart.

Lacing a Heart
You will need:
- Print, Cut and Laminate the Heart Template
- Hole Punch to punch a few holes around the heart
- Yarn, lace, or a string to lace through
Lacing is a great activity to help your child with their fine motor. The main focus with this activity is to have Evelyn manipulate objects with one hand while stabilizing the objects with other hand. So lacing is a great opportunity for this skill.

Emotions Flashcards
You will need:
- Print, Cut, and Laminate the Emotions Flashcards
Social and emotional in early childhood are also part of their development and often times we forget about how important is to teach them about emotions.
This development influences a child’s self-confidence, empathy, the ability to develop meaningful lasting friendships and partnerships, and a sense of importance and value to those around the child.
Children’s social and emotional development also influences all other areas of their development.
