Valentine’s Day is just around the corner & the kids couldn’t me more excited to share their love. Their valentines are ready to go & we have had a lot of fun this past week reading a few of our favorite Valentine books & doing some fun Valentine crafts. Today, we are sharing two of our favorite Valentine crafts that we did last week.
1. Valentine Lacing Heart
Directions: We found this big red felt heart at the craft store. If you can’t find something similar, just make a heart out of felt (or yardstick) and punch holes around it. The kids had so much fun lacing baker’s twine between the holes to create this special Valentine heart.
2. Valentine Shaving Cream Art
Directions: For this craft, I just mixed some regular shaving cream with food coloring. The kids had a blast painting with red, pink, & purple shaving cream!
And for a super simple snack idea, the kids had fun making Valentine cheese hearts & crackers!
And here are a few favorite Valentine books for kids.
