Valentines Day is around the corner so get ready with these fun Valentines Day Crafts for Kids!
Hearts and flowers are quickly coming and every mom is on the search for fun valentine’s day crafts for kids! Because… why not! I mean, it’s still really cold outside and you had so much fun with holiday crafts. So keep the party going this Valentine’s Day!
Crafts are actually a hot thing in our home. It’s the one time you can get kids away from the electronics and actually spend some time together doing something creative. If you can get past the mess and the endless new home decor you will have!
This year is especially fun to find new crafts to create because my daughter has a crush on a boy at school! Ooh, la la! But since she will kill me if I talk about it, let’s move on…
If your kids are of school age, you’ve probably already realized they really love giving each other gifts. My daughter will often go around the house and try to find things she can give to her friends. Not to mention all the random things she comes home with from other kids at school too.
So I’ve discovered that if I encourage “home-made” gifts, I can keep my daughters (and sometimes mine!) possessions from leaving the home. These Valentine’s Day crafts for kids are a great suggestion to keep them busy, and have something fun to pass around to their friends at school?
Have way too many crafts laying around? Donate them to an elderly home. How much would they love to have something to brighten their rooms.

This is another fun thing they can make to give to their friends. I don’t know why they love gifting this to each other but it seems to be very popular in our local grade schools.
Valentine’s Butterfly Magnet. If you are looking for something a little simpler, try this butterfly craft. The hearts are premade at craft stores so it’s just a matter of assembling them. Then kids can draw faces or even clothes on them. Great for the younger kids.
