12 Easy Valentine’s Crafts for Kids

Valentines Day is just around the corner. It’s lovely to see the kids getting involved isn’t it and showing others how much they love and care about them. It is also a great reason to do some love related crafts with your kids so they can express their excitement for Valentine’s in a cute and relatively low-cost way. Save the roses and romance until they’re older, don’t you think? Plus who doesn’t love getting a homemade gift?

I thought I would put together a round up of my own favourite easy Valentines crafts for kids that you can do with them this Valentine’s Day (or even Galentine’s day!)

Valentine’s Cards

These are really cute and effective cards that are so simple to make. You can make a bouquet of hearts or a button heart for the front of your card to create your perfect Valentine’s card for someone special. This craft is ideal for all ages but younger children might need some help with cutting and sticking.

Origami Hearts

Give the gift of Origami Hearts in a Jar this Valentine’s Day. This one is possibly more for older kids and experienced crafters, but younger kids might find this fun to join in with. Folding up small paper hearts origami style and filling up a jar makes a great gift.

Easy Valentine’s Gift Bags

Fingerprint Heart Poem Keepsake 

This is such a cute idea and a great way to involve all the family from Louise at Messy Little Monster. Plus you can adapt this idea to other products too if you don’t have a canvas to create the fingerprint heart poem canvas! She also has a great heart scribble mug which is a lovely keepsake and can be adapted to Mother’s Day and Father’s Day too amongst others!
