I made this cute worksheet to include in my kid’s Valentine’s Day activities.
It’s great since my girls are learning their letters, but it’s still fun, even for older kids that are just beginning to read on their own.
It’s also a great worksheet to use if you’re following along with our Alphabet Activities.
It’s free for home and classroom use, but please don’t sell or reproduce it.

These are the Valentine’s Day treats that my kids will be giving to their class this month.
I chose bubbles because I really wanted to avoid adding even more sugar to the student’s pile of what was sure to be a large load of candy.
And bubble are always a hit with kids.
So I looked around and found these adorable mini bubbles at Target in the holiday section of the store. I then found the Valentine’s colored bakers twine in the bargain section near the front of Target.
Of course, you can also sometimes find colorful bakers twine in the baking section of stores, and I’ve sometimes found fun colors of bakers twine in the craft section of my local Dollar Tree.
And if you’re having trouble finding mini bubbles, I’ve found that Party City usually has a large supply of colorful bubbles as party favors.
Anyway: back to the tags!
I made these heart-shaped tags in red and pink, after playing around with other color combinations like red and blue or red and purple. I found I liked the way these looked best.
And they probably would have looked even better for my photos if my printer hadn’t started running out of ink…..
I made two versions. The first has both a “to” and “from” on it, and the second {seen in the photos} only has “from.”
I did this because my girls are in preschool and it just seemed easier on everyone if we only wrote their names on the Valentines instead of the names of all of their classmates, too. But older kids might want to write who they’re for, so I made that an option.
To assemble the Valentines, I first wrote my girls’ names on the heart and cut them out. Then I punched a hole in the heart with a hole punch on the left side of the top of the heart.
Next, I cut a piece of bakers twine about 10 inches long and tied it around the neck of the bubble bottle. I double knotted it so it wouldn’t go anywhere. Then I strung the heart onto one piece of the tied bakers twine and tied another double knot to secure the heart to the bubbles.
You could stop there, I guess, but I went ahead and tied a bow to make them look a little nicer. I double knotted the bow as well, so it wouldn’t come undone.
I then packed all the bubbles into a heart-shaped basket we already had to make it easy for my girls to bring them to school

We have a lot of Biscuit books.
And a lot of Clifford books.
So when I found this Free Printable Clifford Maze, I instantly thought of Biscuit Visits the Pumpkin Patch. It seemed like a wonderful match.
My kids both love the Biscuit book, and we tend to read it more often in the fall.
It’s a short – and very simple – story, but entertaining. I read it slowly and always take the time to ask who is hiding when we get to the page where there are bunny ears sticking out from behind one of the pumpkins.
And because my girls also love Clifford, they were excited when I printed out the maze for them. So I wanted to share it.
Enjoy! :)
My girls love activities like this.
And I love sneaking a little learning {like fine motor control} into things they enjoy.
So I made some Halloween worksheets featuring activities that my 4yo especially enjoys. And though my 2yo is more inclined to color the ghosts than trace the dots, she still enjoys being involved in whatever her big sister is doing. :)

We do a lot of Alphabet Activities in our house.
My girls love to do projects, and I love that they enjoy projects that help them with letter recognition, pre-reading skills, and a whole handful of other useful exercises.
The main problem is that I haven’t gotten around to posting about all of the activities yet. Or all of the worksheets that I’ve made for the girls. But I’m getting to it.
Today, for example, I’m sharing one of the Letter U activities that we did… even though I haven’t yet officially posted ALL of the Letter U activities and worksheets yet. But with summer ending, I wanted to get this one out there. It’s a great way to get the kids outdoors.
I cut two letters from a piece of purple foam and gave a U to each of my girls.
I showed them a letter U worksheet with the words Up, Underground, and Underwater. We talked about what each word meant, then we used the foam letters to demonstrate each concept.
They held the letters over their heads, then buried them in the dirt, and, finally, submerged them in the pool.
It was a lot of fun for them, and certainly memorable.
Here is the free printable PDF of the worksheet I made for this activity: U is for Up Underground and Underwater
{The worksheet is free for personal and classroom use. Please do not sell or redistribute it.}
We colored in the words after we finished swimming. Can’t just put the letters in the pool and not ourselves, right?
I’ll be uploading more worksheets and activities soon!
