I designed the cards with simple, sweet, festive images that are suitable for your little learners.<\/p>\n

These sweet Valentine-themed cards are more than just a game for littles. <\/p>\n

How to Print the Valentine\u2019s Day Matching Cards<\/h2>\n

Printing your cards is quick and simple:<\/p>\n

First, download the free matching cards using the button at the bottom of this post.<\/p>\n

It is best to print the cards onto white cardstock for durability and to avoid images showing through the back side of the card.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Download the free printable matching cards.<\/li>\n
  2. Print on white cardstock<\/strong> for durability.<\/li>\n
  3. For extra longevity, laminate the cards or place them in clear sleeves.<\/li>\n
  4. Cut along the lines and store in a small bag, box, or envelope.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Teacher Tip:<\/em> Print two copies to create a full matching or memory-style game.<\/p>\n
