Create cupcakes or cookies by using packaged cookie dough or cake mix along with pink frosting. Before giving any special foods to preschoolers, make sure none have allergies to any ingredients.
Use colorful cupcake liners that have hearts on them or are silver to make the cupcakes come out of pans easier. Follow box cake directions to bake cupcakes. For heart shaped cookies, purchase sugar cookie dough and cut out hearts with a cookie cutter. Bake heart cookies by following dough directions. Frost the cookies and cupcakes with pink frosting and give to preschool kids on Valentine’s Day.
Purchase small books for preschool kids at a bookstore to encourage their learning outside of school. Books don’t need to be Valentine’s Day themed, but can be about animals, plants or the alphabet. Many small board books can be purchased for around $3.00.
Coloring books are another great idea for Valentine's Day for preschool students. Coloring books also are available in many different themes and are reasonably inexpensive.
Give preschool kids a small box of crayons to enjoy coloring with on Valentine’s Day along with a heart shaped print-out to color. Kids can enjoy the crayons at home and color in the special heart with their family on Valentine's Day. A small box of crayons costs around $4.00 and is available at most drug stores.
Another option for a colorful gift for preschool kids on Valentine's Day are washable markers. Markers can be more expensive, around $6.00, but are also greatly enjoyed by preschoolers.
