Aim the heart, gross motor activity for toddlers for Valentine's Day

Aim the heart

Gross motor activity for toddlers for Valentine's Day

Supplies: - big piece of cardboard (I cut it from a box)

- big strong scissors

Draw a big heart in the middle of the cardboard. Cut it out and hang it somewhere. I have a clothesline in my classroom to dry art projects so that's where I hung them (I made 2 that I kept from last year so one thing less to do this year).

I give a piece of paper to every child and show them how to crumple it to make a ball (it's a good fine motor skill). Then we aim the heart, even my youngest (1 year old) worked very hard at it. I love games with paper balls they are so much fun and safe.
