What You Will Need
Grab any of the six speech articulation crafts described below: Chocolate Box, Sweet Treats, Love Notes, Bouquet Of Flowers, Candy Hearts Box, or Chocolate Strawberries. All you need are the corresponding target sound pictures plus the background page for each winter craft. Then grab scissors, glue, and crayons!
How To Use
Choose your Valentine’s Day speech craft then print the corresponding target sound page for each student. Have students color and say their words. Once colored, they can cut and say each word.
Glue on each word to the background while practicing again. Lastly, students can point to each word and say their sound. So many opportunities for multiple productions!
Every Sound, Every Position
For all of the Valentine’s Day speech articulation crafts, there is a page containing 12 target sounds on themed items. There is a corresponding sound page for the initial, medial, and final plus mixed positions. Print your student’s target sound to complete each craft.
Every craft includes the following speech sounds: /p/, /b/, /m/, /n/, /w/, /h/, /t/, /d/, /k/, /g/, /s/, /z/, /f/, /v/, /sh/, /ch/, /th/, /j/, /l/, /r/, /air/, /ar/, /ear/, /er/, /ire/, /or/, /sw/, /sm/, /sp/, /sn/, /st/, /sl/, /sk/, /bl/, /kl/, /fl/, /gl/, /pl/, /sl/, /br/, /kr/, /dr/, /fr/, /gr/, /pr/, /tr/.
All sounds have a mixed positions page, but the following sounds are included in the initial, medial, and final positions as well: /p/, /b/, /m/, /n/, /w/, /h/, /t/, /d/, /k/, /g/, /s/, /z/, /f/, /v/, /sh/, /ch/, /th/, /j/, /l/.
Print this Valentine’s Day Chocolate Box Speech Therapy Articulation Craft to target every sound in every position. Students will color, cut, and paste yummy candies to fill candy boxes while practicing sounds.
Phonological Processes
While having a specific page for each individual sound is awesome, phonological process errors can be targeted with these crafts as well making them even more versatile! Use the mixed pages to target a phonological pattern during your Valentine’s Day speech sessions. For example, print the mixed /k/ or /g/ target words to work on fronting or mixed /l/ blends page to improve gliding. You can even print individual sounds to work on early developmental sound such as /p/, /b/, /t/, and /d/.

/S/ Blends
These Valentine’s Day speech crafts include all of the /s/ blends in isolation as well as a mixed page of all blends too. Targeting individual blends has many benefits as students cycle through errors or tackle new ones. These specific sound pages are great to improve cluster reduction and review all blends. Print and use the mixed /s/ blends page to decrease cluster reduction too!

Digraphs
While having resources for early developmental sounds and phonological processes is always helpful, you may need some later developing sounds for your old speech students too. All of our Valentine’s Day speech articulation crafts include those tricky digraphs. Target initial, final, and medial /th/, /sh/, and /ch/ while completing an easy craft for take home practice.

Don’t stress. Just print a variety of the included /r/ sounds to probe stimulability as well as carry-over of sound production.
