Today was candy heart school at our house! Â Read on for some fun candy heart teaching ideas for Valentine’s Day.
I love to have days in our homeschool where we change up the learning. Especially for holidays! Â Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to do some candy heart teaching with your kids. Â So, we pulled out a bag of candy conversation hearts to play and learn with during our homeschool. Â I got creative and came up with some fun ideas. Also check out my Candy Heart Learning Games with a printable Bingo game!
Candy Heart Teaching Ideas
Valentine’s Math with Candy Hearts:
Use your Valentine’s Day candy for math! Â We first graphed them by color and counted to see which color had the most. Â You could also use a weighted scale to see which group weighs more like we did on our Halloween candy learning day. You could also have them line them up and measure each line of hearts.
Language Arts with Candy Hearts:
After that, we sorted the candy hearts by the phrases written on them. We did the same thing as above- counted and graphed them to see which phrase was used most often. I then had them write out the phrases.
Have you noticed how different the phrases are from when we were kids? The one that got me was ‘Sup Babe?” Not kidding. “Text Me” was also not on the hearts I had as a kid.  It’s kinda funny to see how they change with the times!

Great idea!
Mmm, math and candy…like it!
wonder when facebook and tweeting will make it onto the hearts? I guess they’d probably have to pay royalties to FB if they did that 🙂 Great activities.
