    Free Printable Valentine Counting Cards (Spanish and English)

    Published: Jan 11, 2021 · Modified: Feb 4, 2025

    • Share

    These free printable counting cards for Valentine's Day feature the numbers 1-10 written in English and Spanish as well as numerals. As an added bonus, there are also heart tiles to cut out so you don't have to source your own manipulatives for counting if you don't want to.

    Because we are a bilingual household, I'm adding more Spanish language resources for preschoolers as my daughter continues to grow and learn. If your child is learning Spanish, please stop by this post for your free printable Spanish alphabet tracing pages.

    If your child isn't learning Spanish, that's fine. A knowledge of Spanish isn't required to use ⅔ of the cards. If you want to use the Spanish cards, but aren't sure how to pronounce the words, Spanish Dict has a fantastic resource for pronouncing numbers.

    text "free printable Valentine's Day Counting Cards (English & Spanish" on the right. On the left is a picture of two printed pages with four cards each to a page. The top page has three cards with 1 bottle of hearts and one card with two pink birds. Th cards are labeled "one, uno, 1, two"

    How to prepare and use Valentine's Day number matching cards

    The cards are quick and easy to prepare. Let's take a look at the materials you'll need:

    Materials needed

    • Free printable number matching cards (download link is lower in the post)
    • Cardstock or paper
      • I recommend this 32 lb paper for printables. It’s heavier than “normal” printer paper and has much better images. See a comparison of several papers and cardstocks in this post about the best paper for printables.
    • Laminator and pouches 
      • Optional but helpful. Cards are reusable and easy to clean when you laminate them.
    • Scissors and/or paper trimmer.
      • A heavy duty paper cutter is best for laminated cards, but I’ve used this paper trimmer for laminated pages, too.
    • Small manipulatives and tongs or tweezers, optional
      • For an added fine motor challenge, have your child place a manipulative like pompoms using large plastic tweezers or bamboo tongs.
      • We use these small wool felt balls for many activities
      • You can also have your child make and use small play dough balls. There's a recipe for play dough in this post with alphabet play dough mats.

    How to prepare the number cards

    First, download your free printable number matching cards. The download link is lower in the post. You'll see an image that says "download here."

    Print the pages you need. The pages are arranged in order with three cards for each number (English text, Spanish text, numeral). You don't have to print all of the pages if your child isn't ready for numbers all the way to 10.

    A picture of two printed pages with four cards each to a page. The top page has three cards with 1 bottle of hearts and one card with two pink birds. Th cards are labeled "one, uno, 1, two"

    Laminate the pages, if you're using a laminator. Laminating first means you only cut once.

    Cut out the cards along the lines. Cut the heart tiles, too, if you want to use them.

    Play and enjoy!

    How to use number matching cards

    These Valentine counting cards can be used in so many ways since they're in both Spanish and English. Here are a few ideas:

    • One-to-one correspondence
    • Matching English and Spanish written numbers
    • Matching written numbers to numerals
    • To reinforce vocabulary for English language learners or for children learning Spanish
    • To improve fine motor skills when used with play dough balls, pompoms, or other small manipulatives

    Using cards to improve number sense with one-to-one correspondence is easy. Simply have your child place a manipulative (or heart tile) on each image on the card. When there's a manipulative on each image, they've counted to the number shown on the card.

    It sounds so simple, but it's incredible beneficial for little learners!

    To help your child, demonstrate counting from left to right, top to bottom, just like you read in English. I like to follow the I, we, you method where you demonstrate, do the work together, then have your child work independently.

    You can also use the cards to make a cute banner to decorate your child's learning space. Use clothespins to clip the cards along a line (like baker's twine) while they're not in use.
