Valentine’s Day Necklaces – Super Cute Valentine’s Day Craft for Kids

Okay, so to pull together these super simple Valentine’s Necklaces, here’s what you’re going to need to pull together (not much, I promise!)

Materials Needed:

  • Red, pink and purple Valentine’s Day paper straws
  • Heart shaped Valentine’s Day erasers
  • necklace holder or cording for stringing
  • eye screws 

We’ve linked to the supplies on Amazon and if you have Amazon Prime you can get them in 2 days! However, the erasers we used in the pics are no longer available, so we find some others we thought might work.  Good news – you can also almost always find the erasers and straws at the Dollar Store or in the Dollar Spot or party section at Target. I spied some super cute ones the other dat at Target.

The other items can be picked up at just about any craft store like Michael’s and Hobby Lobby and you might even find them in the craft department of Wal-Mart.

Okay, so let’s get our craft on and make some Valentine’s Day Necklaces.

Directions:

You will need to cut the straws into 1″- 1.5″ pieces. This is a great job for the kids.

While they are busy with the straws, you can gently twist the eye screws into the tops of the erasers.

Add the eraser to the necklace first, then the straw pieces until the necklace is full!

If you chose to use plain cording, cut individual pieces approximately 24″ in length.

Finally, tie a knot to secure the eraser charm and straw beads.

Voila! Easy peasy Valentine’s Day craft.

These Valentine’s Day Necklaces are absolutely perfect as an activity for a Valentine’s day class party or try them if you’ve got littles at home as a fine motor building craft! Also, you can do variations of them for just about any holiday or special occasion.

Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling Ever wonder what to say when your child is feeling left out?  A few years ago, I watched from my park bench as a young mother tried to console her sobbing daughter. “I’m sorry, honey. I don’t blame you for being upset.”  “I don’t know why they won’t let me be in their group for the talent show. They just said they already had enough people and their routine was done and there wasn’t anything they could do about it. I told them I would make a new one up, but they wouldn’t do it.”  I tried to focus on my kindle while occasionally looking for my kids to exit the school door. But as much as I tried not to eavesdrop, I had to admit I was interested to hear how the mom would handle this all-too-common situation of a child feeling left out.  “Well, they’re probably just jealous of you honey, because you are such a good gymnast and they aren’t. They probably don’t want you in their group because you’ll show them up,” the mom stated matter-of-factly. “You should do a solo routine. Or maybe one with Chloe.”  “You think?” the girl replied, her tears slowing down. “You think they’re just jealous of my tumbling?”  “Totally.”  Several minutes passed before my girls came out, but the interaction between the mother and daughter stuck with me for a lot longer.  Maybe the girls were jealous, or maybe they honestly had their routine finished.  To continue reading check the link in bio.
