Put together a hearts & pompoms counting game for your young child this Valentine’s Day! 

fine motor & counting game

Here is what you need to set this activity up:

  • Felt hearts(simply buy already cut ones, or cut your own using a template)
  • Pompoms(same colours as the hearts)
  • A big and small tray or a big tray with a smaller plate
  • Tweezer
  • Dice
setup

My then 3-year-old simply matched colours to the correct heart using a plastic tweezer. Such a great fine motor plus colour recognition activity.

But my 5,5 year old needed a challenge, so I turned the same tray into a simple counting game for her. 

How to Play:

Each player pick a colour heart. When you play two people, each player get two colours, if four players play, each get a colour).

Roll the dice and count pompoms of your colour heart out and place them on the heart. 

The one with a full heart(no more of that specific colour pompoms on the tray) wins!

A very simple game, but lovely for younger kids.

Skills worked on: visual discrimination(when colour sorting), fine motor skills(when picking up the pompom with the tweezer), number recognition and counting skills(working with the dice) and game spirit too!

A lovely hearts & pompoms counting game your young children will surely enjoy!
