This week one of my preschooler's favorite activity trays was a Valentine card making tray.? This tray was filled with a variety of craft supplies including colored pencils, scissors, glue stick, doilies, stickers, construction paper, scrapbook paper and a heart tracer.? When I presented the tray to my preschooler she was eager to begin making homemade Valentines for family members!?
??
Valentine card making was a great way for my preschooler to be creative while practicing fine motor skills.? There was quite a bit of tracing, cutting and gluing...all important tasks for preschoolers to practice!?
In addition to the craft supplies on this tray, I also printed out several small photos of family members (and pets!) and labeled each photo with the person's name.? These photos gave my preschooler ideas on who to make cards for and allowed her to write the person's name independently without worrying about spelling.? It turned out to be a great reading and writing activity! ? ? ????????
We worked on her first couple Valentine cards together, then several days in a row she chose to make Valentines independently for her "choice time".? She also loved placing the finished Valentines in the mini-mailbox all ready for delivery!?? ??
