Valentines Day Craft Projects & Activities



Heart Sun Catcher

These look so cute on my front window. A new client coming to interview said she knew this must be the place when she saw the hearts on the front windows.

Cut out an outline from a peice of construction paper folded in half. Unfold and lay a peice of contact paper over it. Have the child cover it with hearts. Put contact paper over the other side and cut out.

Heart Crown
Perfect for the Queens and Kings of hearts wear to celebrate Valentines Day. Glue hearts onto two strips of red or white construction paper and staple together to fit the size of child's head. Staple or glue strips of red and white across the top. Children can glue hearts to these strips as well.


"Hh" is for Heart Hat
This year we stamped our Valentine crowns with the letter H and Hearts.

Sponge paint with hearts!


Display as is or have children cut them out when dry. Use for decorating other projects or making valentines day cards.


Horses & Hearts, Letter H Sponge Painting
This year we added the letter H to some of our Valentines day crafts to go along with our letter of the week learning.


Valentine Mail Boxes
Wrap a tissue box in white paper just like you would wrap a gift. Make sure the hole is on the top and taped side down. Use a razor or sharp scissors to cut slits as shown and then fold and tape down into the hole.

Write each child's name on the sides in large letters and decorate with hearts.


ASL I love you !

Display as is or make them into a nice valentines day card for mom and dad.


Heart Wreath

Cut out the center of a paper plate and decorate with hearts. Hang from a string.


Heart Pasta Necklace

I found the heart pasta at Cost Plus Market and dyed it red. If you cannot find the heart shaped pasta just use the rigatoni and construction paper hearts with a hole punched.
