KateWe are trying to muddle through a 6 day weekend here at the i dream of DIY household. Icy storms + freezing temperatures + school cancellations = bored, rambunctious kiddos. I decided a good Valentine’s craft is the perfect way to keep their little minds busy.
There are a bunch of really great ideas over on Pinterest (of course!), but these simple, super cute crafts are right up my little kids’ alleys. And I know some grandparents that are going to love them too.
So if you have some sweet little munchkins that need an activity, try one of these budget-friendly (but oh so lovable!) crafts.
Valentine’s Day Pom Pom Monsters
I am in love with these unique little monsters. My boys have already decided that pink is a girl color (how did that happen?!) but they are going to adore these! What kiddo can resist a sweet little monster? Tutorial here.
Ribbon Heart Valentine Cards
Handmade cards are the best, aren’t they? And little kids love to make them! Win, win. I love how these have texture and interest from the different ribbons…and that I can use up some of the ribbon stash I have lying around. So it’s actually a win, win, win. Tutorial here.
Bee Mine Valentine Heart Craft
I have an irrational fear of bees but even I couldn’t say no this is adorable Bee My Valentine card! Tutorial here.
Valentine’s Day Heart Craft
This is a really simple project that even the youngest of crafters can enjoy doing. Tutorial here.
We don’t have many Valentine’s decorations for our home but this heart wreath would definitely brighten up our naked front door. And if my kiddos made it, I would smile every time I walked in the house. Tutorial here.
Valentine’s Day Headband
The i dream of DIY minions have developed an affinity for festive hats so this is a perfect activity for us. And there are some really cute Valentine’s Day game ideas listed too. Tutorial here.
Valentine’s Day Play Dough Recipe
We love play-dough in this house but, for some reason, homemade play-dough elevates me to super-magical, wonder woman status in my kids’ eyes. I’ll take whatever adoration I can get! This recipe is perfect and won’t hurt your kiddo if they decide to sneak a taste. Tutorial here.
So there we go! My picks to get my young kiddos excited for Valentine’s Day…and keep them entertained!
Happy Valentine’s Day!
