Valentine Candy Patterns
ages 3-6
Supplies
Individual box of candy Valentine conversation hearts.
Activity Detail
Buy an individual box of colored Valentine heart candies. Have your child pour them out and build color patterns. Start simple, like pink, white, pink, white. You can then get more complex like pink, yellow, white, green, pink, yellow, white, green. It's a fun way to learn patterning skills!
Comments
This activity can also be done with M & M's, gummy bears, or other small candies.

I love simple, affordable activities like this one. I think, though, that for the 5-6 year olds who are learning to read, it would be nice to encourage them to read the conversation hearts since for at least some of the kids in this age group, simply making a colored pattern with the hearts may not be engaging enough.
