These adorable Valentine's day puzzles are perfect for learning to skip count. Skip counting can be difficult to grasp so if you have a hands-on way to approach it, this can make a big difference.



My daughter loves puzzles, so if she can do a math activity without only using workbooks, she's in heaven. This means that they're not worrying about writing down their answers but they're still learning at the same time.

Use these printables for little ones who are learning to count up to 20, or skip count by 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10.

Valentine's Day Skip Counting Puzzles Supplies

• Printer
• Paper or card stock
• Scissors
• Laminator or contact paper (optional)

Print out the puzzles onto card stock or paper, then cover with contact paper or laminate them, this will allow you to re-use them. Cut them up and store each one in a Ziploc bag or container. I like to wrap each puzzle together in an elastic so I can easily sort them out when I need them.

To extend this activity, add your favorite Valentine's day books, make your own Valentine's day cards for a special friend or relative, create a fun sensory bin with pink or red beads and hearts or make an adorable heart craft as a keepsake. There are so many crafts that can use the red or pink theme to add some fun to your learning.
