Valentine's Day Theme
Circle Time Or Math
Fine Motor Activity

• You will need:
• Printable Page Above
• Heart stickers or circle stickers
• 4 small squares of paper or you can use a cube die.

Print out the penguin picture above onto white copy paper, you will need one for each child.

You will need 4 small squares of paper about half the size of a deck of cards. Write the number 0 on one card, 1 on the next...then 2...then 3

If the children in your group have no problem counting out 3 items then you may want to increase the numbers your using from {0 to 3} to 2 to 5 or 3 to 7, etc.

Lay the cards face down onto a low table or on the floor and mix them up, have the children take turns picking one of the cards. If the card they pick has a 2 on it, they will put 2 heart stickers onto their penguin heart printable page. The first child to cover his heart is the winner.

Or you can have the children play together as a group without there being a winner. You can have the children fill up their card and then once their card is filled up they can place their heart stickers onto a friend's heart to help their friends fill up their cards and everyone will play as a group until everyone has their penguin card filled up.
