Valentine's Day Activity Trays for 5 Years Old

Hello! I'm back, friends! There’s so much to blog about and discuss regarding homeschooling and the educational activities we've been involved in over the past few months. However, I’m currently feeling a bit overwhelmed with things at home. I did want to take a moment to share some activities I prepared for Max this Valentine's Day. As he gets older, I find that we can tackle more challenging activities while still sticking to the themes he enjoys. 

TOP TRAYS:

• Max enjoys spinning and building Valentine's Day pattern blocks; he really loves this activity! 
• We also trace lines using manipulatives or marker pens, and the printable comes from a Valentine's Day Mini Unit. 
• Additionally, we create shapes using geosticks, which offer a hands-on opportunity for Max to construct shapes instead of just matching them.

MIDDLE TRAYS:

• Counting clip cards from 1 to 10, part of the Valentine's Day Mini Unit. 
• We will use color sorting activities to enhance fine motor skills; the materials can be purchased here. 
• We have beginning sound mats with a Valentine's Day theme available in my shop. I collected several miniatures from our toob collections and toys for Max to sort based on their beginning sounds. We also did a similar activity for Winter.

BOTTOM TRAYS:

• Pin poking magic! It’s his first experience, so let's discover if he’ll fall in love with it. 
• We’re diving into counting mats with a vibrant rainbow mandala set from Grapat, complemented by a printable from our Valentine's Day Counting Gumball Mats. 
• And we're creating a charming chocolate box for our Valentine's Day craft this year! This is part of our  Valentine's Day Craft set.

Memory Games for Kids

 Have you played a memory game? It's a classic game of matching pictures. My toddler (3 years old) enjoys playing it and keeps asking for "more" themes. Unfortunately, we only have one set of memory games suitable for his age (transportation game). I tried looking for more sets, but I can't find something right for kids around two years..., so I made my boy tons of sets so we can play it all year round!
