🌟 ❤️ Heart Cup Stacking Task Cards | Valentine Color Patterns & Fine Motor Activity for Preschool

The Heart Cup Stacking Task Cards Activity is a hands-on, engaging resource designed to help preschool, pre-k, and kindergarten learners build color recognition, patterning, visual discrimination, and fine-motor skills through play.

Teachers place colored heart cups (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple, and pink) in a learning center and provide task cards that show students exactly how to stack the cups. Children follow each visual model to recreate the color order, strengthening early math and problem-solving skills while practicing careful stacking and coordination.
