I'm a little sad this year because I don't get to do any Valentine's Day crafts with my students. So, I wanted to share some of favorite crafts that I done throughout the years as a teacher.
Of course, we always decorate shoe boxes for our Valentine mailboxes. I remember doing this as a little kid, so I want my students to get to do it, too! They love exchanging Valentines and taking them home to see all the treasures inside.
This a cute little mouse made out of Hershey kisses. Too cute! This can made with paper ears (instead of felt), a little pom pom nose, googly eyes, and ribbon for the tail. Just glue them together. You can use craft glue or if you are making them to give out you can use hot glue.
A love bug! You can also make a bug that is more of a ladybug with hearts. The ladybug's spots can be black hearts.
An easy bouquet of heart flowers. All you need for this: paper, markers, and pipe cleaners.
The kids love making a heart person. I love seeing how each child's personality shows in their art. For this, the body, eyes, nose, hands, and feet are hearts. The arms and legs are paper folded like an accordion.
Butterfly heart with a lollipop! Too sweet.
This idea is also great for Mother's Day. Plus, it doesn't have to be as elaborate as this. The flower pot can be made from cardboard or construction paper. Or you just make the flowers with the pot.
A simple heart wreath. This is great for cutting practice or for making patterns.
Making flowers out of hearts. Again, it doesn't have to be as elaborate as this picture. I just take these photos and use them for inspiration.
I love this simple flower. It can be used for any spring or summer craft.
Doily butterfly
Flowers with lollipop centers are such a cute idea for a handmade Valentine.
And I just had to include this picture. I think it would be simple to recreate!
*edit* I just figured out where this poster came from! Check it out (and they have a poster about blogging!): Made By Girl
(And I cannot remember where most of these crafts came from. I have had these saved on my computer for awhile. Here are just a few sites that I go to for inspiration: No Time For Flash Cards, Skip To My Lou, DLTK.)
I hope you have a fun time crafting! Happy Valentine's week!
