Easy and Cute Valentine’s Day Heart Craft For Kids

When it comes to creating crafts for Valentine’s Day, it can become tedious and hard.

This does not have to be the case.

Crafting with young kids can be easy and fun.

It is important to find what your child loves to do and the type of crafts they enjoy making.

Sometimes just purchasing semi-homemade crafts is what your child loves to create, and that’s okay. 

Materials Needed For Valentine’s Day Heart Craft

  • Red and pink construction paper
  • Foamy sticker or non-sticker hearts
  • Googly eyes
  • Scissors
  • Craft glue
  • Crayons or markers

How To Make Easy Valentine’s Day Heart Craft For Kids

  • Help your child cut out a large heart in their favorite color.
  • Choosing another color, cut out 4 strips, which your child will fold into an accordion. These will be the legs and arms of your heart.

I love this exercise because it’s great for fine motor skills, and your child must pay attention when folding the paper.

Tip: You might have to help them; this can be difficult for younger children.

My oldest didn’t have any problem, but my youngest is only 3 and needed more help folding the paper forward and backward.

  • Glue or stick the foamy hearts to the end of each accordion strip. These will be your heart’s hands and legs.

  • Have your child glue the arms and legs on the heart.
  • Glue on the googly eyes and draw a smiley mouth using a crayon or marker. 
  • Allow the heart to dry completely so the arms and legs do not fall off.

This was a very easy craft, but my girls had tons of fun making them.

Mainly because they could do most of the work without my help.

My girls also loved that you can make the heart dance and its hands and legs bounce up and down.
