Valentine’s Day Candy Heart Estimation

Kids will love a Valentines Day Math project where they will not only enjoy a fun kids activity, but learn about estimation too. This estimation activity has children trace their hands and estimate how many heart candies they will need to fill in their hand. Then have them practice counting by counting how many candies did it take. This is a fun math activity for valentines day with preschool, pre-k, kindergarten, and first grade students too.

Candy Heart Estimation Activity

1. Trace your child’s hand on a piece of paper
2. Fill their hand with Valentine candy hearts
3. Have them guess how many hearts there are (a great math skill)
4. If you have more than one child have them guess who will have more (i.e. did they grasp that older children have bigger hands therefore will fit more candy?)
5. Count the candy (I had my Kindergartner put them in piles of 10 (you can count by 1s, 2s, 5s, or 10s depending on what skill you are practicing)
6. Write the actual count at the bottom. How close where they?
