Pin the heart

E. found a small box of thumb pins before Valentine's Day and went back to it time and time again. She was asking how we use them and what they are for. So I decided to put together an activity in which she can use thumb pins and also connected to the upcoming Valentine's Day.


I printed a do-a dot heart from the net and picked one our IKEA cork trivet. I coloured the dots so it would be more fun to use the right colour thumb pins.

While doing the pinning you can revise the colours and learn the word "cork" itself.

When finished she put more pins in the middle. The next day she pulled them all out and packed them away.


This activity helped her muscles strengthen in her hands as well. We'll do more of this kind of activity as E. loved it and it's a great pre-writing task. (We can revise shapes or have a shamrock to pin for St. Patrick's Day etc.)
