March Activities for Kids

Babies love to play by using their hands. They are carefully exploring their environment and learning at a rapid pace. Toddlers are extra busy learning and exploring! This is an age where children have discovered their independence as well as their own learning style. Older preschoolers are taking their play to new levels, engaging in fantasy and thinking predictively.

Some children like to sit back to watch and observe, and might be averse to messy play, whereas, others might love to dive right into to play and activities making them 100% their own.

These February activities for toddlers include something for everyone, from messy play to simple arts and crafts, many involving hearts or a love and friendship theme, as this is one close to a toddlers heart.

Many of these are in our printable March calendar of activities for toddlers and preschoolers, which requires a password to print from our Exclusive Content for Subscribers page (if you already have your password for that page, go ahead and grab it from there, or sign up in the March calendar post to get yours!)
