If My Pet Could Write - Valentine's Day Writing Prompt

Ever wonder what your pet thinks about you? Well, here’s their chance to spill the kibble! This Valentine’s Day writing and drawing activity lets students imagine what kind of love letter their pet (real or imaginary) would send them. Would a cat write a formal "To Whom It May Concern" letter? Would a dog cover the page in drool and tail wags? The possibilities are endless—and hilarious!

Ways to Use:

• Perfect for a fun, creative writing activity leading up to Valentine’s Day.

• Encourages students to practice perspective-taking and letter writing.

• Great for a bulletin board display of adorable (and possibly dramatic) pet messages.

• Works as an engaging morning work, writing center, or early finisher task.

Why You'll Love It:

✔ Encourages creativity—who doesn’t want to read a heartfelt letter from a hamster?
✔ Builds writing and drawing skills—double the fun, double the cuteness!
✔ Engaging for all students—whether they have a pet or not, they can dream up a talking fish, a grumpy turtle, or a poetic parrot.

Get ready for some paw-sitively adorable Valentine’s Day letters!
