Heart Matching Puzzle is the perfect way to have your students review the alphabet, numbers, sight words, or addition and subtraction. This easy, DIY activity is perfect for toddlers, preschool, kindergarten, first grade, and second grade. 

I seriously LOVE easy, DIY activities for little learners. This Heart Matching Puzzle is the perfect addition to your classroom or home and will allow your students the perfect opportunity to practice anything they are learning in a fun, hands-on way.

Valentine’s Day is a fun holiday to decorate our classroom with cute Monster Crafts like these. It’s also the perfect opportunity to introduce fun activities to our little learners so they are learning without realizing they are learning. 

So we play math games like this Valentine’s Day Numbers Puzzles and our students show what they know with these Valentine’s Day Number Match-Ups. 

To introduce literacy into our Valentine’s Day fun we read our stacks of books all about this heart-filled holiday. Then to make Valentine’s Day even more fascinating we dive into science with a February theme with these 4 exciting experiments.

What You Need for Heart Matching Puzzle

  • cardstock
  • butcher paper or large manila paper
  • marker
  • scissors

Getting Heart Matching Puzzle

First, you will need to fill out the editable hearts printable (below). To do this you will need to download KG Red Hands and install it on your computer. You will then fill each heart with the focus of the activity: letters, numbers, sight words, etc. You can see different ways you can do this in your classroom below.

After you print these (cardstock is recommended), it is recommended that you laminate for extra durability. You will then cut out each individual heart.

Using one heart as a template, trace hearts on the white butcher paper or manila paper. You will want the number of traced hearts to match the number of hearts you printed and cut out.

Heart Matching Puzzle is the perfect way to have your students review the alphabet, numbers, sight words, or addition and subtraction. This easy, DIY activity is perfect for toddlers, preschool, kindergarten, first grade, and second grade. 

Lastly, you will need to write what you wrote on each heart onto the hearts you traced on the white butcher paper or large manila paper.

Doing Heart Matching Puzzle

This is an activity that can easily be implemented from preschool to second grade, while also being used in a variety of subjects. If you want your students to practice the alphabet, make an alphabet heart matching puzzle.
