How many times has this scenario happened to you? You’ve prepped for the next school day. You have your classroom ready, the correspondence sent that needed to be sent, and you’ve updated all of your centers…or so you thought.

The following morning you enter your classroom ready for the new day and realize that you forgot to switch out the activity in your ABC center.  You think on your feet well…that’s one of the things that makes you a great teacher and parent!  That’s where this Easy Valentine Alphabet Heart Activity comes in and saves the day!  You can create this ABC center activity with supplies you already have on hand.

Easy Valentine Alphabet Heart Activity

Being flexible and accommodating is what makes us great teachers, wives, and mothers, right?  That’s one thing I like most about this Easy Alphabet Heart Activity.  It can be created on a whim and is still an effective tool for alphabet practice.

This activity is perfect for the month’s of January and February, leading up to Valentine’s day.  Kids love themed activities and we love to make them!  If you’d like to use this year round, just change the theme and stickers for the activity and you’ll instantly have an effective ABC center ready to go!

I would suggest this activity is suitable for preschool and kindergarten.  My preschooler was busy for about 20-30 minutes.  Not only was he practicing his letter/sounds but his fine motor muscles were getting a workout too each time he peeled off a sticker.

To start, gather your materials.

  • construction paper
  • markers
  • stickers
  • scissors
  • alphabet cards or magnetic letters
  • grab bag or basket for alphabet

Quickly draw a large heart by free hand and cut it out. If you aren’t sure about your free hand drawing ability and you’d feel more comfortable, then sketch a large heart on paper and then cut it out.

Use a marker or sharpie and write uppercase and lowercase letters scattered about the heart in no specific order.
