Are you looking for some conversation heart activities for young children? Conversation Hearts can be used for many things that encourage learning in an early childhood environment!
Try these Conversation Heart activities for added learning during February:
- Give each child a box of conversation hearts and have them sort them by color.
- After sorting, have the children create a pattern using what colors they prefer.
- Use a grid to graph the colors of hearts.
- Hold up a jar of conversation hearts. Ask each child to estimate how many heart are in the jar. Write down their estimates. Count the actual amount and see who is closest.
- Play bingo using the hearts as markers.
- Practice fine motor skills by giving children tweezers, chopsticks, or tongs to pick up conversation hearts.

- Make your conversation hearts dance with this cool experiment.
- Give children one minute to see how many hearts they can stack on top of each other to make a tower.

- Let children glue conversation hearts onto a frame, and put their picture in the frame for their families.
