Valentine Craft
I had searched a few different craft books and sites for a Valentine’s Day craft that would be age appropriate. Since we are doing quite a bit of coloring lately it seemed to be appropriate to do something with coloring and construction paper. So I came up with the idea for a heart wreath. It is simple, and the older your kids are the more they can do to help complete the project!
So here is what you will need….
Red and Pink Construction Paper
Crayons (We also used stamp markers)
Heart Stickers
Craft Glue
Glitter
Large and Small Heart Cookie Cutters (If you are talented you can cut the hearts out yourself, I am not, so I used a set of cookie cutters I got from target).
Here’s what to do…
I let my mini-cupcake color, marker, and add stickers all over the construction paper before I cut the hearts out. I cut two large hearts and eight small hearts. Here is the large heart…
Then I arranged the small hearts in wreath like pattern…
And then added stickers to the edges (just to hold it together before you glue down the large heart)…
And then I glued one large heart on the front and one large heart on the back of the wreath. On the heart on the front I traced glue around the heart’s edges and let my mini cupcake go to town with the glitter…
I used the other side for writing a message (or to put their name and date for a keepsake)…and tada!
You can also add ribbon to the top if you want to hang your heart wreath. See…simple, easy, and very Valentine’s Day!
