Valentine's Day Playdough and Tracing Activity

This Valentine’s Day Playdough and Tracing Activity gives students a fun and calm way to practice important early skills. Each page shows a heart in a different color, helping children clearly see what they are working on.

Students place playdough on the heart to fill it in or shape it, then trace the words that match the color of the heart, such as red heart or blue heart. This hands-on approach helps strengthen little hands while also reinforcing color words and early writing.

This activity is great for:

• Valentine’s Day classroom activities

• Building fine motor and hand strength

• Practicing colors and color words

• Tracing and early writing practice

• Centers, small groups, or independent work

• Preschool, Pre K, and Kindergarten learners

📄 How the activity works:

• Each page includes one heart in a specific color

• Students apply playdough to fill or outline the heart

• Students then trace the color phrase (e.g., red heart, blue heart) that matches the heart’s color

• Clear, simple design makes it easy for young learners to follow

It’s an easy, low prep activity that keeps kids engaged while learning through play, perfect for adding a little Valentine’s Day fun to your day

Enjoy!
