Valentines Day Crafts

Valentine's day is just around the corner. What do you have planned? I am still trying to get it all planned. I want to do something special for my husband and my son. I personally think that any holiday or anniversary can be celebrated with your child too. I like to include my son into everything even if it is just a little bit.  So here are some crafts for Valentines Day. These crafts are great for you and your child to do together for a loved one! Enjoy!!

I got these craft ideas from Parents.com. They have more ideas if you want to look.

Craft #1

SWEET!

-Personalize jumbo candy bars with festive wrappers and tags decorated with markers, stickers, and your child's own little fingerprints.

What you will need-

• Candy bar with an outside wrapper
• Decorative paper
• Regular and decorative (optional) scissors
• Tape
• Ink pad
• Stickers, markers, glitter

STEPS-

1. Carefully remove the outside wrapper from a candy bar and trace it onto decorative paper. Cut out the new wrapper with regular scissors and tape it on the underside of the foil-wrapped bar.
2. Use decorative or regular scissors to cut a rectangular label or packing tag to adhere to the top of the candy bar. Measure against the face of the bar to make sure it fits accurately.
3. Dab your child's finger on an ink pad. Press inked finger on paper, then rotate paper 90 degrees and repeat to form a heart. Decorate with stickers, markers, and glitter.

Craft #2

Wrap Artist!

Your child can transform plain tissue paper into a work of art straight from the heart. Set out cups of paint and sheets of tissue paper in a solid color, and decorate with two thumbprints joined together to form a heart.

Craft #3



Sealed With A Kiss

This year, skip pricey store-bought cards. Instead, purchase plain card stock, patterned paper, pretty buttons, and ribbon, then let the kids go to town to create more personal Valentine's wishes.








Craft #4








Buttoned Up!






Patterned paper, buttons, and string for hair create little figures that are, well, cute as a button.







Craft #5









Magnetic Force




These simple memo magnets are the perfect craft for your little cupid. To make, paint small wooden hearts, let dry, and glue a magnet on the back. It's a charming way to display cards and photos.










Craft #6









Sweets for the Sweet!







Dress up mini chocolate bars with a creative wrapper for the cutest candy ever. Measure out a section of paper by using the candy wrapper as a guide. Cut it out and cover with love messages, stamps, stickers, or little drawings, then secure around the bar with tape. This makes a quick and easy Valentine's gift for your child's friends.
