Puffy Heart Wreath

I love wreaths almost as much as I love garlands! This Valentine’s Day puffy heart wreath craft is fun, easy to make, and easy on your wallet. The foam hearts are super light and I was able to tape the wreath to a door in our house using only blue painters tape. Also, if you want, you can turn it into a patterning lesson as well or just randomly glue the hearts on.

  1. Gather your materials. You will need a paper plate, glue, foam heart picks (got mine 9 for a dollar at the dollar store), red markers, and scissors. 
  2. Start by coloring the paper plate with markers. We used red but use whatever color your child wants to.
  3. Start by having your child pull the tops off the heart picks. I twisted them so they were easier to pop off. This step was really fun.
  4. While they do that cut the middle out.
  5. Add a lot of glue. If you don’t normally let your child do the glue because they use too much, let them with this one. You need a lot of glue so let them at it!
  6. Add your hearts.  Randomly or in a pattern. I just let him do it however he wanted and he quickly settled on a pattern and sang it out as he added it. You can also sneak counting in here if you want.
  7. Let your puffy heart wreath dry.
