Valentine’s Day Heart Puzzle Craft for Kids
I promise these are super easy to make and also super fun! Your kids are going to love this and want to make over and over again! Not to mention – you can save these and reuse over and over and over again – year after year. You can hang these inside your house and on the trees out front (just be careful and mindful of rain!).
Supplies for Valentine’s Day Craft:
Puzzle from the dollar store (or you can use an old one that you have at home, too!)
Red or pink paint
Thick card stock
Ribbon or string.
Scissors
Glue
Glitter (if you dare)
*As you can tell – you probably have most of these items at home. This is what I love about doing craft projects that are easy. I don’t have to be outside hunting down different items. I can easily look at a list and know that I have everything at home – right at my fingertips!
How to Make our Valentine’s Day Puzzle Craft:
- Cut out a heart out of the cardstock, approximately 3” width at the largest point.
-
Pull out some puzzle pieces that are already different hues of pink or red. Then take out others and flip them upside down to paint.
-
Spread out puzzle pieces on newspaper and paint them your favorite valentine colors. Dust them with a little glitter before they dry if you wish.
-
After the puzzle pieces are dry, start to glue them onto the cardstock hearts. Don’t be afraid to overlap them.
-
Glue on ribbon or string so you can hang it up.
-
Add a special Valentine message on the back.
And then you see the final result, which are just awesome!
This is what I love about this craft, too – it’s unique. It’s different. It’s special. It’s something you will look at and smile because you know precious little hands created it. You want to be excited and love being part of the journey of these adorable crafts. I hope when you make it it’s as fun for you as it is for your child, too! I simply think it’s a beautiful thing to take the time to create with your child, regardless of what the CREATION is! It’s just good ole FUN!
