Valentine's Day Fingerplays for Preschoolers

5 Little Valentines

Five little valentines were having a race
The first little valentine was frilly with lace.
The second little valentine had a funny face.
The third little valentine said, "I love you".
The fourth little valentine said, "I do too".
The fifth little valentine was sly as a fox.
He ran the fastest to the valentine box.

Valentines, valentines, how many do I see?
Valentines, valentines, count them with me.

Valentines, valentines, how many do I see?
Count them with me! 1-2-3-4-5.....

I'm a Little Valentine
To the tune of "I'm a Little Teapot"

To say, "I love you" on Valentine's Day!

Watch me as I cut and paste,
My special valentines.

Valentines, valentines,
See me mail my valentines,
To the ones I love.
