I love how much language is a part of Valentine’s Day. Spanish candy hearts are one great example. I made a printable activity with candy heart sayings that you can use in several different ways with Spanish learners.
Spanish candy hearts are now widely available in stores. If they are not on shelves in your town, you can buy them online, although they do sell out in February. You can find lots of activities to do using the candy. Here is a list of ways to use the candy (not specifically Spanish), but the printable version has its advantages. With these paper hearts, kids get all the language and none of the sugar!
There are 2 printables with Spanish candy hearts. One in color and one in black and white for kids to color. Each saying appears twice on the printables. I also included blank hearts if kids what to make their own matching game with other words.

Most of the sayings on these paper Spanish hearts are the ones you find on the actual sweets. Here are these sayings I used:

Where have you found the Spanish candy hearts online? I have only found one place so far, and they want almost as much for shipping as they do for the candies themselves!

I had trouble finding them online last year too. Target and other stores sometimes have them though. Good luck!
