Roses are red. Violets are blue.  Learning the alphabet just got more cool.  This Valentine ABC activity is the perfect way to build alphabet recognition with a holiday twist.

A Valentine ABC activity that will have preschoolers and kindergarteners enjoying practicing letter recognition.

SETTING UP THE VALENTINE ABC ACTIVITY

materials needed: white heart doilies, red & pink buttons, plastic spoon, small shallow container,  and a magic marker

buttons ready the Valentine alphabet activity

  1. Decide on five or so letters that your child needs practice identifying.  Randomly write the letters a few times on the doily with a marker.  You can do lowercase, uppercase or a mixture of both depending on your child’s needs.
  2. Place the buttons in the shallow container and place a spoon near the buttons.

PLAYING THE VALENTINE ABC ACTIVITY

placing buttons on the heart for Valentine's Day

It’s time to play.  Call out a letter to your child and have him or her scoop out a button to place on each letter.  Continue to play until all letters have been covered. Clear the heart and play again or make another heart with new letters.
