15 Fun and Creative Valentine’s Crafts for Kids

These adorable love bugs are a fun way for kids to use pipe cleaners, googly eyes, and pom poms to create little critters. Twist the pipe cleaners into antennae and glue them to the pom pom bodies. Add tiny hearts for extra love!
Perfect for younger kids and older kids alike.
Tissue Paper Heart Sun Catchers
Cut a large heart out of wax paper, and have your child glue pieces of colorful tissue paper onto it. Once the glue dries, hang it in the window to catch the light.
This heart craft is a simple craft that’s great for fine motor skills and makes a beautiful special keepsake.
DIY Valentine’s Day Cards
Help your kids create unique Valentine’s Day cards for friends, family, or classmates. Using construction paper, scrap fabrics and foam hearts. They can personalise each card with special messages or a drawing of a large heart.

Heart Garland Made with Old Clothes
Cut out colorful hearts from an old pink shirt and string them together to make a festive garland. Kids can decorate each heart with stickers and glitter.
You can glue them together, or if you love sewing like me, get the sewing needles out! This craft is a great idea for classroom decorations or your home.
Potato Cutter Stamping
Use heart-shaped potatoes or cookie cutters as stamps. Dip them into paint and press them onto construction paper to create beautiful patterns.
This little project is enjoyable for little kids and can be used to make DIY wrapping paper or wall art.
Love Bug Stones
Take smooth rocks and paint them as love bugs with bright colors and heart patterns. Add googly eyes to give them personality. Similar to the love bug pom poms!
This Valentine’s Day craft project is a fun way to let kids express their creativity and make great decor for February 14th.

Transform a simple pen into a Valentine’s masterpiece! Wrap the pen with floral tape, add a foam or felt flower, and decorate with foam hearts.
This craft is a great idea for older kids to give as a small gift for teachers or family members.
Tissue Paper Flowers
Help your kids make a heart flower by layering coloured tissue paper and securing it with a rubber band. Add a green pipe cleaner as the stem.
These flowers are beautiful and make thoughtful gifts for grandparents or friends.
DIY Picture Frames
Decorate inexpensive wooden or cardboard frames with foam hearts, glitter, and stickers. Add a family photo or a picture drawn by the child.
This is a memorable keepsake and a great way to celebrate the holiday of love.

Foam Heart Crowns
Cut a strip of construction paper or foam to fit your child’s head, then decorate it with foam hearts, glitter, and stickers to create a Valentine’s Day crown.
