Would you like to plan a Valentine’s Day Puzzle Find of your own?
Here are the materials you will need:
Setting up boundaries as to where the hearts were hidden was important. Some children might get very frustrated about not finding hearts as they search and search. The younger the child participating in the Valentine’s Day Puzzle Find the smaller the area I would have them search. My son is five and we used six rooms in our house. You also may want to consider whether the puzzle containers are out in the open or hidden behind objects. Younger children may not think about looking under or behind accessories in a room.
You may want to have reward them for finding all nine of the hearts. Heart shaped candy or a special surprise may be exciting if finding puzzle pieces in the hearts isn’t reward enough.
Let me know if you try having a Valentine’s Day Puzzle Find with your kids. I would love to know how it goes.
