Use lots of hearts in a valentines crafts for kids

This Valentines crafts for kids, for preschoolers and for kindergarten is one that most little girls will love. Anyone who has little girls or teaches little girls knows that one of the best things little girls love is heart.

When looking for a valentine craft ideas for kids the best place to start is with hearts. Of course, boys can make these Valentines arts and crafts, I am just pointing out little girls obsession with hearts

You may think that hearts are only for Valentine art,  little girls they will tell you that hearts are for all year round. They will sit and color endlessly making hearts and more hearts. Boys will do the valentines craft you tell them to as just another activity.

On that note here is a simple craft for kindergarten  that you can use for Valentines day or any other time that hearts fits in. It’s basically  just a simple heart collage.

Notice all the hearts in the picture above. There are large hearts, medium size hearts and small hearts. There are hearts out of tissue paper, shiny paper, aluminum foil, felt and a few other types of paper. This is where you can use your own imagination to find various materials that you can use to cut out different size hearts.

After you have cut out the hearts, place them in various plates or flat containers to present them to the children. You can sort them based on size or color, whichever way is most pleasing to the eye for children.

A few heart valentines craft ideas

There are a few things you can do with those hearts

  1. You can just give the children an array of the hearts with some glue, some string, a hole puncher and see what they do with them
  2. Give the children an empty piece of tagboard and have them collage using the hearts they choose
  3. Give them a piece of tagboard that is cut into a shape of a heart for them to collage on.
  4. Make a large heart into a card and let them collage on the card and then  add a written message on paper that you can paste on one side of the heart.
  5. Give the children a really large heart from easel or finger paint paper and let them paint on it. The heart is the basis for any process only art activity yet, it looks like a valentines craft

    loved it. given freedom children can be really imaginative. i tried the same thing with my 3 yr old students and gave them many different icecream scoop cutouts and the liberty to assemble their own icecreams. the results were stupendous.
