How to Use a Love-Themed Activity Pack to Teach Love and Kindness to Preschoolers
Preschool is the perfect time to begin teaching children about love, kindness, and caring for others. At this age, children learn best through simple conversations, hands-on activities, and play-based experiences.
This free love-themed printable pack helps introduce these important values in a gentle, meaningful way while also supporting early learning skills such as fine motor development, visual discrimination, and early numeracy.
What’s Included in the Love-Themed Pack
This printable pack includes three preschool-friendly activities:
- Heart Tracing Page
- Find the Different Heart Page
- I Spy Heart-Themed Page
Each page provides an opportunity to talk about love, kindness, and how we show care to others in everyday life.
Teaching Love and Kindness Through Simple Activities
At the preschool level, teaching love and kindness doesn’t need to be complicated. It’s about:
- Using simple language
- Giving real-life examples
- Encouraging children to notice feelings
- Modelling kind behaviour
These activities naturally open the door for short, meaningful conversations.
1. Heart Tracing Page: Talking About Love
How to Use It
Invite your child to trace the heart shapes using crayons, markers, or coloured pencils. As they trace, talk together about what love means.
You might ask:
- “Who do you love?”
- “How do we show love at home?”
- “What makes you feel loved?”
Learning & Social Benefits
- Strengthens fine motor skills
- Builds early writing confidence
- Encourages emotional expression
- Helps children connect love with people and actions
Extension idea:
Ask your child to choose a colour for each heart and name someone they love for each one.
2. Find the Different Heart Page: Learning About Differences and Kindness
How to Use It
Ask your preschooler to look closely and find the heart that looks different. Encourage them to circle or colour it.
Then gently introduce the idea that:
- Everyone is different
- Differences are okay
- We can still be kind to everyone
Learning & Social Benefits
- Develops visual discrimination
- Builds focus and attention
- Encourages acceptance and empathy
Conversation starters:
- “This heart is different. Are people different too?”
- “How can we be kind to people who are different from us?”
3. I Spy Heart-Themed Page: Practising Kindness Through Cooperation
How to Use It
Have your child search for each heart icon, count them, colour them in, and write the number in the box (or say the number aloud).
You can complete this page:
- Together as a shared activity
- By taking turns counting
- By helping each other find hearts
Learning & Social Benefits
- Builds early counting skills
- Encourages cooperation and turn-taking
- Strengthens patience and focus
Extension idea:
Praise kind behaviours during the activity:
- “I love how you waited your turn.”
- “That was kind of you to help me find the hearts.”
Simple Ways to Reinforce Love and Kindness
While using this pack, try to:
- Model kind language (“please”, “thank you”, “can I help?”)
- Acknowledge kind actions
- Keep discussions short and positive
- Focus on real-life examples your child understands
Remember, preschoolers learn kindness by seeing it and practising it, not through long explanations.
