18 cute valentine crafts for kids

 

Making crafts with your children offers so many benefits. I love hanging out with my girls for a crafternoon: some art materials, music and fairy lights in the background, a few snacks to keep us company… lovely!

This kind of hands-on activity offers children an introduction to many important skills too.

:: They get to explore art materials, and different painting and drawing techniques.

:: They develop fine motor skills as they tear paper, pull stickers and start to use scissors.

:: They learn about colours, textures and the names for different materials.

And let’s not overlook how super cute these Valentine crafts are! Hang up a decoration made by your child and it’ll make you smile every time you see it, or send it to a grandparent as a little hug-in-the-post from your child.
