Preschool Valentine Trays

While my tot naps I work one-on-one with my preschooler on one "learning" activity a day.  Last week (for the first time!) I planned all my preschooler's activities ahead of time!  All the activities I picked are Valentine themed.  Once my preschooler has a good understanding of each activity (after we've worked together at least once),  they become "choice time" activities she can choose to work on by herself.
