Valentine’s Crafts for Kids

Valentine’s Day will come soon.

Don’t want to do common crafts with your kids?

I had found 10 very creative, easy and pretty crafts, which can be done with your kids together.

1. Heart Crayons

I love this idea so much! Not sure if we can carve some words on the heart with screwdriver?

2. Photo holding gift for your love

I think we can put candy, paper flower, pencil with pipe cleaner heart (see below), a stick with a message on top, etc. inside the hand.

3. Pipe cleaner

Pipe cleaner can make any shapes you like. Maybe we can make flower shape too.

4. Valentine’s Tree

The stem is done by blowing watercolor with straw. The leaves are done by pressing fingerprints with colors.

5. Candy bomb

8. Perler Beads Hearts

I think it will be better if we attach a key ring or string with this for hanging on bags.

 9. Weaving Paper Heart

Easy Paper X’mas Tree origami for kids

Easy paper X’mas tree origami is always popular for kids.

They can make small paper X’mas trees as ornament or bookmark.

They can also use big color papers to make a tall X’mas tree for decorating.

Believe it or not. You can make one with similar height to a 5-6 year old kid.

Below is an easy and cute X’mas tree. I like the star on top. That is made from the same paper,  amazing!

Below is another easy folding method.

As this tree has flat base, it can stand firmly itself.

If you use big and thicker color papers, you can make a big X’mas tree with height similar to a 5-6 year old kid.

As shown in the image, the taller tree is 110 cm and the shorter one is 55 cm tall. The left tree used 6 pieces of big color papers (for decorating poster board) sticking together.
