3 Simple Valentine's Crafts

These Simple Valentine’s Day Crafts For Kids are perfect for helping with the class party, having a few neighbors over to celebrate or a fun afternoon activity with the kids!  Here are 3 super simple projects that are sure to a hit with the kids and the adults, mostly because there is very little clean up involved!

3 Simple Valentine Crafts

We used pink & red construction paper and a stapler to create the hats, easy as can be! For the pieces that fit around the head, I cut the paper about 2.5″ wide and sized to each child’s head, then stapled shut. 4 1.5″ strips of paper were used for the vertical part and we stapled a heart on top.

These super silly Valentine Party Hats will fill your need and make some pretty cute props for any February celebration! I love how simple this project is and perfect for kids from toddler to tween!

3 Simple Valentine's Day Crafts

Grab some pipe cleaners and set those kids to bending! This is such an easy little project and would look adorable strung around a classroom, across a mantle, mirror, or staircase! You could also use it as a countdown chain, beginning February 1st, for Valentine’s Day!

3 Simple Valentine's Day Crafts

Depending on the age of your little Valentines, you can lay out a variety of colored hearts or some scissors and paper to let the kids cut their own. I gave the kids some glue, the prompt “Animals”, and encouraged them to see what they could create using these hearts.

3 Simple Valentine's Crafts

My artists came up with an elephant, mouse, & a piggy! They loved this activity so much we’re going to do a few more rounds with different prompts, like “transportation”, “food” and “use your imagination”!

All of these activities would be perfect for individual centers in a preschool or early elementary classroom as well as at home!

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.
