Valentines Day Craft & Countdown
This is such a fun, simple to make craft for kids. You need :
- white, red, and pink construction paper
- scissors
- red and pink tissue paper
- glue
- pencil
- staple or tape
Start by cutting out a large heart from your white construction paper.
Hint: You can fold paper in half and cut out a rain drop; open and you have a perfect heart.
Next cut your red and pink tissue paper into squares.
Put a tissue paper square over the center of your pencil eraser and pull down and around pencil. Now you have the perfect shape.
Dip edge in glue (I like to do one at a time using the pencil) and then press on the heart.
Repeat until your white heart is covered with red, pink, or purple tissue paper.
Now you get to make the Valentine’s day Countdown element!
Cut out strips of red, pink (or purple) colored paper.
We like to write things on our countdown. Here are some ideas of fun things to write on your Valentines Day Countdown:- Things you love about your kids
- Fun crafts, activities, and cooking you will be doing with your kids that day
- Bible verses about love (here is a free printable)
- Valentine rhymes
- Or anything else you prefer
You can even make the links look like hearts like we did – isn’t that too cute?!
