I had some fun winter lacing cards so Valentine’s day lacing cards were next on my list. I made these cute lacing cards that include hearts, cards, a cupcake, a lion, and a zebra. They are super cute and your child will have a great time playing with them.

Valentine’s Day Lacing Cards

My daughter loves lacing, she’s so fascinated with string. I always ensure that I am closely supervising her play when she’s playing with string because you never know what other uses they will find for it.

Valentine’s day is a great time to show others how much you love them as if you need an excuse because it doesn’t just happen one day of the year. We don’t usually buy into the commercial aspect of Valentine’s day but we want our kids to know what it’s about and why others are celebrating it as well.

Recommended Valentine’s Books for Kids

Bring love and joy into your home with these adorable love-themed books your kids will ask you to read over and over again.

Combining reading with lacing is great. I’ll often read to the kids while they’re working on these lacing cards as a fun way to combine two ways of learning. The kid also loves to read to me these books so that they can learn even more about this great holiday.

And make certain to sit down and read together as a family. The kids will appreciate and remember these times many years down the road.

These are just a few of the books that we love but there are so many more to explore. I like to have a combination in the house of books that we bought and books that we’ve checked out from the library. This gives us a wide variety of different types of books and gives us the chance to rotate them out and find new ones.

Valentine’s Day Lacing Cards Supplies

Since my children are homeschooled, they don’t get to experience Valentine’s card exchange so we just do it among our own family. It’s a super fun tradition for us and it doesn’t cost us anything except paper or recyclables.

Just gather up the list of simple supplies to get started. Making these lacing cards is so simple! These are also good supplies to have on hand with most of my other activities, too!

Print out the lacing cards onto paper or cardstock, laminate them and then use the hole puncher to punch out holes so your child can thread a piece of string or shoelace through it.

The Importance of Fine Motor Skills

When it comes to fine motor skill learning, there are so many benefits to using it! While kids are little, any type of learning activities that you can do to strengthen their fingers and dexterity is always good.

Fine motor skills are great for hand movements. Since kids are curious and always want to learn and explore with their hands, having fun activities like these lacing cards are perfect. This gives them time to learn with their hands, explore and feel with their hands, and figure out how to use their fingers and hand muscles, too.
