Easy Valentine’s Day Craft

easy valentine's day craftThis easy Valentine’s Day craft was inspired by these hole punch snowflakes we posted years ago. What I love about these hearts aren’t just that they are pretty , they are so simple and are a craft that you can put down and start dinner, run to the bust stop to pick up a sibling, or put away until the next day. Using a hold punch is a wonderful tool for building hand strength but make sure you have the right size punch that your child can maneuver to avoid any frustration.

Gather your materials. You will need some paper ( great way to use up scrap paper! ), hole punches, scissors, and some ribbon. You will also need some painter’s tape to hang them up without leaving too much gunk on your walls or windows. easy valentine's day craft

Start but folding some paper in half and cutting hearts. easy valentine's day craft for kids

Time to punch, hole punch heartI am telling you this one was tricky. hole punch heart craft for valentine's dayEveryone helped punch the holes. hole punch heart valentine's day craft

Make sure there is a hole in the middle of the top to thread the ribbon through. hole punch hearts

Thread it through and tie a double knot. This was too tricky for my daughter. The hearts are fragile and rip easily on this step. We decided we were a heart factory and the kids punched most of the holes and Mama tied on the ribbon. hole punch hearts in window

    really cute and so simple. My daughter will love this as she loves anything crafty, but I think even my son will enjoy this too. Now if I can just keep my 1 year old from eating all the small circles from the hole punch.

    […] Why not try out a hands-on project? These ideas are simple and will help to set a tone of love in your home as Valentine’s Day approaches. First, get some colored paper and cut out hearts. Next, spruce up the hearts by punching out various holes with a hole puncher. Loop some string through one of the holes and hang the hearts up in front of a window! You can also hang the hearts up in your window well to add a little bit of festivity in an unexpected place. For an example of the project, click here. […]
