Pattern Hearts

Since we are stuck at home for another snow/ice day, I thought we would work on some more Valentine crafts.  I found these cute dot printables over at DLTK.  You can use bingo markers or dot painters to fill in the dots.  But, since we didn't have either, we used dot stickers instead.

We chose the heart and decided to use our dots to create a pattern.  So, after the kids colored their hearts, they used the dot stickers to create a pattern around their heart.  My daughter is getting really good with patterns so this was good practice for her.  My son has had patterns down for a while now, so I challenged him to make a longer one.

I think they turned out really cute!  The kids even added another row of patterns to the inside of their hearts, then cut them out.

 

Roll a Snowman

Need another fun activity on this snowy day?  How about a game of Roll-a-Snowman?  You can get the free printable game sheet HERE.  You just need paper, pencil or crayon and a die.  Each number on the die corresponds to a part of the snowman you can draw.  The first person to finish their snowman first is the winner!  Calm, educational and non-messy fun is always good!
