Fingerprint Heart Tracing Activity for Preschoolers
Grab a sheet of white paper and draw out 6 hearts in all the colours of the rainbow. Write out the colour inside the hearts. This is a great way to help your little one get familiar with colour sight words.
Pour out each colour of your hearts on to a paint pallet or paper plate and invite your little one to use their fingers to trace each heart with the correct colour.
If they are hesitate about using their fingers like my son, let them use a small sponge stamper or dot marker or a Q-Tip.
This is a great fine motor and colour recognition activity for toddlers and preschooler. They will learn colours and colour sight words such as red, and blue.

Play is at the core of learning during the early years and it can take many forms. One of the most important of these is sensory play because it engages all of a child’s senses (taste, touch, smell, sight and hearing) and has a enoumous positive impact on brain development.
My Sensory Play Kits are a fun and easy way to keep your child engaged while at the same time capitalizing on the benefits of sensory play to nurture their mind!
