Candy games are some of Meatball’s favorites. It seriously can’t get much better — candy and playing {plus learning}! With minimal set up conversation hearts color sorting is a quick and easy fine motor activity that is a perfect addition to any Valentine’s Day learning!

There are so many learning activities you can do with those little candy hearts that you see everywhere this time of year. Since Meatball is currently working on his pattern recognition I decided to make up some simple Conversation Hearts Pattern Worksheets for him to play around with.

Writing with Kinetic Sand: Kinetic sand is an awesome medium for practicing handwriting skills and spelling. It’s fun texture adds an amazing sensory experience and a smooth resistance to add an extra challenge to your child’s writing!
When Livia first started working on her handwriting skills you could have sworn it was more torturous than pulling teeth for her. She didn’t like coloring, writing, or any of the other traditional methods of teaching kids how to write. About the only thing she enjoyed was painting, so we spent countless hours playing around with different types of paints and texture brushes.
Then we discovered Kinetic Sand (and even managed to discover our own DIY Kinetic Sand recipe) and writing became a blast for Livia. Now there is no stopping her – she has become my aspiring writer!
