Valentine’s Day with kids is so much fun. It’s a perfect occasion for crafts!
As you know, I’m a big lover of crafts and DIYs. Especially when I can share the experience with my son and daughter. Creating art and memories is so precious. There’s nothing better than their smile when the project is done. It makes the clean-up all worth it. Do the kids in your life like glitter as much as mine?
Adding extra sparkle may be up for debate, but there’s no argument that these crafts I’m sharing with you today came out amazing!
Follow my step-by-step guide if you’re looking for cute and easy crafts to make this V-Day.
Fun Crafts to Celebrate Valentine’s Day with Your Kids
Lollipop Valentine Card
Materials
Pencil
Scissors
Instructions
1. With Cardstock paper, make a card.
2. I used 8.5″ x 11″ cardstock paper and cut it into half. Then fold the half to make a card.
Using a plain blank postcard is another option.
3. Cut out these heart shape templates (heart shape I & heart shape II).
4. Trace and cut heart shapes on felt paper of your choice.
5. On the smaller heart, create two holes diagonally with your hole puncher. This is to secure the lollipop onto the card.
6. Glue the smaller shaped heart onto the larger shaped heart with hot glue.
PERSONALIZE LOLLIPOP VALENTINE CARD WITH YOUR KIDS
7. Glue both hearts onto the cardstock paper with tacky glue.
Your kids can do this step by themselves.
8. Decorate the hearts with wiggle eyes and use a black marker to add a mouth.
9. Decorate the background of the card using paint or paint markers.
We used the end of a pencil and dipped it in paint to create dots. You can also use sponge brushes to create different patterns. The step is to allow your kids to be creative and personalize their cards.
10. I love to use pre-made valentine wording stickers.
Once the paint is dried, insert the lollipop on the card and you’re all set.
Dinosaur & Unicorn Valentine Straws
Materials
Card stock paper – red, pink, blue
Valentine heart foam stickers
Valentine’s day word stickers
Instructions
1. Download these dinosaur, unicorn and, heart templates.
2. Cut shapes using a craft machine (Cameo or Cricut) on cardstock paper or you cut it manually using scissors.
3. Glue paper straw in between a heart shape and unicorn/dinosaur shape.
4. Fold the second heart shape in two and glue it on one side of the dinosaur/unicorn shape.
5. Allow it to dry.
Once dried, it’s time to personalize your creation.
6. Glue wiggle eyes on each side of your dinosaur/unicorn.
7. On the side without the folded heart, decorate with valentine heart foam stickers or valentine day word stickers.
