My Valentine Freebies:

Heartfelt Creations Valentine Art and Writing Project |
This isn’t a download, but it is something I love to do with my students each year. Give each student a sentence strip and a handful of large conversation hearts. Have them create a comic strip by drawing their own characters and gluing conversation hearts as the dialogue. Challenge them to write their own dialogue too. It’s a great way to review punctuation marks and have fun too!

I used your hearts yesterday, I ran them on pink paper and let the kids cut them out with crafting "funky" scissors so they looked lacey. I left them as the 7s times tables because my crew is still having trouble with 6, 7 & 8, no matter what tricks we use!
Thanks,

I love those little hearts! They're just different enough that the kids think they're fun instead of work. =)

I would use your hearts from your TpT store to make number word and numbers matching games. My kinders are having a little trouble recognizing/reading the number words so this would be perfect for that!
Sorry I didn't leave my name and grade level on the post above:

I will use the hearts to review compound words or contractions. The hearts will be cut in half to write the two words that form a compound word or I will give the students 2 hearts to write the 2 words that make up a contraction and what that contraction looks like.

Great idea. Why are contractions so tricky? =)
I now follow your blog and TPT store.

I think I would use the hearts in a center to practice sums of ten. I have 5 new students who are way behind the rest of my class when it comes to mastering their addition facts, so hopefully a fun center will help them catch up a little bit, but it will also still hold interest for the rest of my students!
