Valentine’s Day is the perfect time to create beautiful, heart-shaped crafts with your kids. Whether it be a treat to eat, a valentine to give with love, or a plush stuffed animal to hug, it’s the perfect season for you and your family to celebrate together.

Here are some quick ideas:

Looking for a simple, easy, and fun Valentine craft to do with your kids? Check out ohdeedoh.com’s Valentine’s Day Fortune Cookies. Kids will love this activity!

Super newsletter Kids Craft Weekly has a great assortment of easy Valentine’s crafts. I really like the Beautiful Heart Suncatchers.

Use old cereal boxes to make “inboxes” for your kids’ valentines. Cut the box into a cardboard tray, have the kids use paint pens, glitter, markers, crayons, and ribbons to decorate them. This is a super easy way to not only recycle, but make a beautiful holder for all of those beautiful cards!

FamilyFun.com’s extensive list of Valentine’s crafts offers great ideas for gifts to make for your family, friends, classmates, and teachers alike. This is a fabulous resource!

Check out the classic Crayola site for lots of ideas for more easy crafts!

Check out Oriental Trading for valentine card projects for every budget.

Buy a box, and have the kids cut them out and decorate them with red, pink, and white hearts that you make yourselves. A bit of homemade fun among those favorite licensed characters is refreshing!
