Our room is filled with all kinds of hearts!! The latest addition is our coffee filter hearts. We helped those who needed it cut heart shapes out of coffee filters and then they colored them with markers. We used just the regular crayola markers.
After the coffee filters were colored the children lightly sprayed water on the hearts which caused the colors to spread. I lined the table with wax paper before the children sprayed the hearts with water and put the wet hearts on paper towels to dry.

The free membership printable this week is Penguin Heart Number Cards for number recognition and review as well as fine motor development. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper ... cut them out and then laminated them.
There are a variety of ways the number cards can be used. We love to use them for match and clip activities. The children find the two penguin cards with the same numbers and then clip them together with a large plastic paper clip or a clothes pin.
Another activity we use the cards for is sequencing. We glue craft sticks on to the back of the cards and the children put the cards in numerical order. This can be made into a matching activity by making two sets of the penguin cards.
For identification i attach the cards to book rings. one set for the ones the children can identify and another for the ones they are still working on.
You can grab the patterns below for free until Sunday February 7th ... after that date they will only be available in the member's section which is also where I have added Penguin Heart Alphabet Cards. penguin heart number cards

The free membership printable this week is Snowman Color Puzzles for color recognition and fine motor skills. I printed the patterns on cardstock paper and and cut them out. I then laminated them and cut along the lines to make five pieces for each puzzle.
I set the puzzle pieces out on the table. You can either keep the puzzles grouped by color or mix them up to make them more challenging for the children to put each puzzle together.

I made reindeer shape dot cards to work on shape recognition as well as fine motor skills development. I printed them on cardstock paper but you can use regular paper if you like.
I set the dot cards out with a small container of paint and some q-tips. The children dip the q-tips in the paint and then fill in the blank dots on the shapes.
You can use markers or glue sequins on the blank dots if you did not want to use paint. I made both black and white as well as color patterns with two different styles of shape dots. You can download the patterns below.
