Valentine Activity for Toddlers
Why do l love playdough? First, even the youngest child can play with it. My kiddos were squishing playdough when they were toddlers, just 18 months old. Second, it’s so inexpensive, you can even make your own at home. There are tons of homemade playdough recipes out there.
These playdough mats are a fun place to start playing and talking.
How to Use the Free Valentine Printables
Use the playdough mats again and again. Here are some options. You can print them on white paper or cardstock, but just know that cardstock will make the mats more sturdy if you put the playdough directly on it.
Better yet, if you can laminate the mats, you can use them over and over. If you don’t have a laminator, you have a few other options:
- cover the mats with packing tape. A few strips should do the trick.
- Slide the printout into a page protector
- Slide the page into a gallon storage bag
Use Your Imagination with this Year-Round Activity
You don’t have to use just playdough. You can add pom-poms, confetti, buttons, pipe-cleaners, or whatever you please to make this playdough mat even more fun.
The name of each item is also written on the mat. This way, older children can practice tracing and writing the words of each valentine-themed item.
