I know Valentine’s Day is a day that is highly celebrated between people and their significant others. Now that my child is 2-years-old, I am looking forward to sharing this day with her, too. I am planning to cook a dinner she will love, and we will make yummy cupcakes together with cute heart sprinkles. I also want to make a fun craft with her and to share some creative ideas I found on Valentine’s Day crafts that you can make with your kiddos to include them on this day of love!
Love Bug Hats
This is a simple project that you can make together and get everyone involved. You will need some construction paper, stickers, pipe cleaners, markers, and tape and let the kids create away.
Valentine’s Day Friendship Heart Necklaces
Make a craft to share and give to each other with these sweet friendship heart necklaces. You will need yarn, foam hearts, and some beads. This is an awesome keepsake for everyone!
Handprint Flower Bouquet
Construction paper and paint can turn your kid’s handprint into a masterpiece. Paint flower stems on a piece of paper and add their painted handprint to the tops to make the flowers. Be sure to include their name and the date, and you have pretty artwork to frame.
