Valentine's Day I Spy Printable - Mom Life Made Easy

Updated for 2025, this Valentine’s Day I Spy printable is a fun way to engage your child in a learning activity that has great brain benefits! I’ve included a few proven tips for making this a fun learning activity even for little ones below.

This free printable celebrates all the cuteness of Valentine’s Day while helping your child develop their visual-spatial thinking skills, practice counting objects that aren’t grouped together, and practice their number writing – all while having fun! Plus, coloring each of the little icons is great for strengthening fine motor skills!

Tips for Using The Valentine’s Day I Spy Printable

One of my favorite things about this Valentine’s Day printable is that it was an activity that all three of my kids – from prek to fifth grade all genuinely enjoyed. Expect older kids to be able to do this activity totally on their own and plan to help younger ones a bit.

For younger children, give them clear guidance, such as “let’s find all of the valentine envelopes first!” Allow them to color the items however they wish, and then double check that they found all of those icons before moving on to the next one!

If your child didn’t find all of the icons they were looking for, make it fun and turn it into a game of “hot and cold!” Simply encourage your child that they are getting closer to the icon they haven’t found by telling them they are getting warmer, or let them know they are getting further by telling them they are getting colder.

Younger kids may not know how to write their numbers yet, so feel free to write the numbers for them, or if they are working on handwriting skills, have your child count the icons, and you can write the correct number very faintly and have your child trace it! This isn’t a formal activity – keep it fun and low stress for your child!

I wanted this activity to feel extra special to my kids, so I laid them out on the table with coloring supplies one morning near Valentine’s Day as a surprise for my kids when they woke up! Everything feels more special when it’s presented as a surprise! 🥰
