Math Activities:
Heart Patterns
We used both stickers and stamps to work on patterning. We worked on AB, ABC, and ABCD patterns.
Simple AB Patterning with heart stickers
Stamp Patterning - again I bought the stamps & stickers from Oriental Trading and it's been a great buy! The Lil Divas have used them ALOT!
Conversation Hearts Counting & Graphing Activity
The Lil Divas really enjoyed this activity!
I found great templates for this activity at PreKinders.com.

Sorting & Counting the Candy Hearts
Graphing the results
The Finished Graph
we discussed which color they had the most,
the least & which was their fave
(I let them sample 1 of each color)
For this activity I bought a bag of SweetTarts Hearts (they are my fave!) and then cut out twelve hearts from red constuction paper and numbered them from 1 to 12.
I mixed up the hearts, put them in a pile and turned them upside down.
The Lil Divas took turns picking a card from the top of the pile, identifying the number and placing the correct number of SweetTart Hearts on it.
Of course, they had to eat some after we were all for doing such a great job! :)
We also found a cute
