Are you looking for a fun, simple way to celebrate Valentines with your toddler? I tried out a little heart hop with Little J… what fun!
I grabbed a handful of red construction paper and cut 7 large hearts. I added the numbers (because including numbers in stress free environments will make them more familiar later on).
Hop, hop, hop. (Such a cute little skill that takes A LOT of practice.)
It didn’t take long before Big M decided to join in.
I was prepared… a quick flip of the hearts and Big M could hop on the words. (Sneaking in a little sight word practice.)
Because she’s a toddler… Little J was done hopping after a few tries. The hearts were not forgotten though. Plop, plop, plop back and forth to the art cabinet.
This post is a part of the Valentine lesson plan.
I’m going to do this one with my son – it’s a perfect toddler activity. What’s more fun than hopping? I like the addition of numbers. Aiden knows most of his numbers and enjoys “counting” things, but is still working on the sequential order.

[...] A Mom With a Lesson Plan cut out several paper hearts, numbered then, and then had her toddler Happy Buddy do a Heart Hop from one numbered heart to the next. [...]
I’m excited to try this with my kids and to use it for my music and movement classes!
