Symmetry Lessons

Chat with your preschool students about the shape of these little conversation hearts. Hearts are a great shape to use as you begin explaining symmetry to your preschoolers because they’re symmetrical. Draw a few hearts on paper, cut them out, and fold them in half to bring the lesson to life for your preschool kiddos.

Building Numbers

Next, try building some numbers with your candy hearts this Valentine’s Day. Print large numbers on paper or use number flash cards. Then, have preschoolers “build” the number by lining up conversation candy hearts.

Counting Skills

Practice counting skills with your preschoolers this Valentine’s Day as you count out the candy hearts together or independently. It’s a great way to help preschoolers practice important early math skills like one-to-one correspondence.

Pattern Practice

You can use Valentine’s Day conversation hearts to teach your preschoolers about patterns too. Create fun patterns together with candy hearts by taking turns finishing the pattern or creating your own. Then, talk about what a pattern is and how patterns can be different.

Sorting & Graphing

Another fun early math skill to practice with candy hearts is sorting. Have your preschool students sort conversation hearts by color or sort them by the words on each heart. Then, graph the results individually or together as a class.
