Today, we’re sharing a printable Valentine’s Day preschool activity pack for your child to practice basic cognitive and motor tasks while also improving their penmanship.
Children who participate in hands-on learning by actually doing and experiencing something learn by observing, copying, and experimenting with their hands and body.
For instance, count cubes and sort objects to understand mathematical concepts, rather than just learning theory via books or pencil and paper exercises.
Learning through play has been proven to be the most important way of learning new skills until a child reaches school age and beyond.
