Valentine's Craft projects

Valentine's day is just around the corner and we have some art and craft inspiration for you!

 You can make some super cute heart shaped light catchers.  Simply cut out a heart shape from a piece of construction paper.  Cut out a center heart as well - leaving just a heart frame.  Add some contact paper to the one side and place sticky side up in front of your little one. 

 Let them decorate the contact paper with some glitter, this will be messy!

 Once they are done with their artwork, cover the glitter side with another piece of contact paper.  Punch a hole in the top, thread through some ribbon and hang in your window!

 We made these little plaster hearts using plaster (mix it thickly) spooned into a heart shaped cookie cutter.  Leave to set for a few minutes then remove cookie cutter.  Once dry you can paint them.

 Make a cute Valentine's inspired threading game for your little one.  I used some pink craft foam, cut out a heart shape and punched holes around the edge of the heart, give your little one a shoelace and they will have loads of fun!

 We created these fun cards with some bubble wrap, paint and construction paper!  First apply some paint to the bubble wrap, stamp on the paper and then you can paint some heart shapes on top.  Will make great cards!

 You can also do a red themed sensory box.  For this box we used some bran, feathers and some containers.  This was a huge hit!

 Why not try a red themed mosaic box?  We used feathers, pipe cleaners, paper and contact paper.  Cut two pieces of contact paper, place one sticky side up in front of your little one.  Let them decorate with the art supplies, then cover with another piece of contact paper.  Huge fun!

Make a extra special Valentine's gift for daddy.  Use a store bought canvass, paint little ones hands with non toxic paint and let them stamp their little hands on the canvas.  This is such a special gift!

Enjoy and we hope that you will have a lovely Valentine's day!
