A rhyming valentine’s treasure hunt for ages 3–7. Read the story, hide the clues around the house and let the valentine helpers follow the trail to the paper heart. Here are free clues to start with, and a printable version with your child’s name and your own hiding spots.
Read this out loud before the first clue. It turns “go find some cards” into a mission.
A Letter from Pip
Hello, Valentine Helpers!
It’s me, Pip the Love Bug, Cupid’s littlest helper! Every Valentine’s Day I fly around delivering friendship notes, but this morning my mailbag snagged on a rosebush. Pop! The valentines fluttered out and floated all over this place.
I followed the trail of paper hearts and tucked eight Love Note cards along the way. Each one has a rhyming riddle that tells you where to look next.
Valentine Helpers are kind, gentle and great at sharing. Work together, take turns, and shout “Buzz-buzz, hooray!” every time you find a card. Follow the trail to the very end, where a sweet surprise is waiting!
Your first Love Note card is attached. Happy Valentine’s Day, helpers!
Hugs and buzzes,
Pip the Love Bug, Cupid’s Helper
Write each riddle on a card and hide it at the answer to the clue before it. The first clue goes in the kids’ hands after the story.
Uh-oh, Valentine Helpers, my mailbag went POP!
The love notes flew out and they just wouldn’t stop!
A love note, hooray! It’s rosy and red,
Now flutter along to the next spot ahead!
One note is left, and it’s the biggest of all,
Find it and share it with friends big and small!
