Easy Valentine's Day Craft Ideas for Your Little Ones
Children love to do crafts. They don’t need to have a reason to make things. However, they like it even more if they do have a particular reason. The following are some easy Valentine’s Day craft ideas for your little ones to enjoy.
Salt art is fun for toddlers. Help them mix together the dough: 1 cup of salt is added to 2 ½ cups of flour. Mix in 2 to 3 tablespoons of ice water.
Let them use a spoon to begin with but change to their hands to get the three ingredients entirely mixed.
Once they have their salt dough they can create any number of things. Show your toddler how to roll the dough out and use cookie cutters to make ornaments.
They can also roll it into ‘snakes’ to make a pinch pot. The salt dough can also be molded around a picture frame.
After they’ve created their projects, the salt dough must be baked in a 250 degree oven for several hours. When the items have cooled, let them paint their artwork.
You can also make a Valentine’s Day plaque using the salt dough. Make a heart shape by rolling out the dough and cutting it to shape.
Press their hand into the dough to leave an impression.
Bake the plaque as above and then paint their name and date on the plaque so you’ll know when it was done. You can do something similar using water-based paint and paper.
Speaking of paint, you’ll be hard-pressed to find a toddler that doesn’t love to finger paint.
Lay newspapers on the table before giving your toddler paper and finger paints to work with.
You may be surprised at the masterpieces your child comes up with.
If your child completes something that they’re really proud of you can cover it with contact paper to help it last longer.
Show your child how to make Valentine’s Day cards.
Fold a piece of construction paper (pink or red) and write down the sayings your child wants in their card.
Then let them use stickers, glue and glitter to make the card pretty. If you have paper doilies you may want to have those available for your child, too.
When your toddler is little, they don’t have very good manual dexterity.
You can find large wooden beads which can be strung on yarn or shoe strings and made into Valentine’s Day jewelry.
Red, pink and white beads, along with ones shaped like hearts, are all your toddler needs to make necklaces, bracelets and key rings.
If your toddler is like most they love to do crafts. These easy Valentine’s Day crafts for your little one are perfect for letting their artistic flair shine.
Keep the materials on hand and they can enjoy making crafts for Valentine’s Day or any other day of the year.
