Valentine’s Day Family Craft Activities

Do you enjoy decorating your home for Valentine’s Day? Are you looking for some easy family craft activities that incorporate the Valentine’s Day theme?

When our daughter was a little girl, we enjoyed decorating our home for each and every holiday along with the various seasons…and Valentine’s Day was no exception.

Here are some crafty ideas that you can make with your children this year.

1. Cut out pink, red and white hearts (various sizes) from construction paper. Use a hole punch and punch a hole in the center top area of your heart. Thread some satin ribbon through to make a hanging loop. Give the children some glue and let them glue on some rhinestones, beads, charms, glitter, buttons etc. Then use some suction cups and hang them up on your windows or household mirrors.

2. Homemade Valentine’s Day Cards…you can make them simple or elaborate using construction paper, stickers, markers, glutter glue paint pens, etc.

3. You can make a heart banner by cutting out and decorating paper hearts from construction paper. Use a hole punch and punch a hole in the side of each heart and thread them together with satin ribbon or yarn. Then proudly hang up your banner some where in your home.

4. If you are crafting with older children, consider doing some baking. You can bake cupcakes and cakes and decorate them in a Valentine’s Day theme. Children love to add sprinkles and little candies to the frosting!
