Easy Valentine’s Day Craft!

heart craft for kids

I love tools that help even the littlest child make recognizable shapes, especially for holiday or special occasion crafts. This easy Valentine’s Day craft could be done with paint and plain paper for the smallest artists or for older kids you could use glue like we did, then cut each out and glue them on a contrasting piece of paper for an even more, polished look. The sky is the limit, the materials are simple, and the result is fun and cute! My son loved it because he needed no help and got to use “sprinkles” which is perfect for a three-year-old!
