Valentine's Day Fine Motor Skills Activities for Kids

One of our most popular posts has been our 18 Fine Motor Activities for Preschoolers, so I was inspired to gather some of my favorite Valentine's Day Fine Motor Skills Activities for Kids. These kids activities are great for preschoolers and kindergartners that need to work on strengthening those important small hand muscles. Fine motor skills help with writing and cutting and become very important when kids start school. These ideas are simple to set up and will provide fine motor practice in a fun way with a Valentine's twist!

There are a number of supplies that I think are musts for practicing fine motor skills. Eye droppers are perfect for squeezing up water. Kids Tongs can be used with pom poms and other small items for a quick activity. Pipe cleaners and styrofoam blocks also offer a variety of fine motor uses.

Each link number corresponds with a number in the photos below so you can see exactly what the Valentine's activities look like.
