Just as promised, I have some pictures of the Valentine crafts that I suggested for this week. At the top are samples of the heart collages we made. (Once again, I love the die cut machine. What a time saver!) Next, are the painted hearts we did with marbles. And finally there are the Valentine cards for the parents. The card on the left doesn⿿t have the handprint made into a heart. It is way too hard to get a toddler to hold their hand still to make a heart.
For instructions on these crafts, click over to my post on
Valentine⿿s Day Craft Ideas for Kids.
I really like to do the golf ball paint/marble paint activity. This works for many occasions. For Christmas, you could paint on a green Christmas tree and add some sequins or beads for ornaments. For St. Patrick⿿s Day you could use this activity for a shamrock. It⿿s very versatile and the kids really enjoy this activity.
For other Valentine ideas or preschool activities, try
Revka⿿s Little Fun; Little Learning. I met Revka online through her first blog,
The Porch Light. We began exchanging ideas and soon began calling one another on the phone. A few months ago, Revka began her educational blog Little Fun; Little Learning. I told her how my preschool class was studying a letter each week and Revka began doing posts on ideas for studying a letter each week. It has been really helpful to me. I just click on over to her site to see what links she has. I have used quite a few of the ideas she has listed.
Let me know if you have any questions on the craft ideas. I hope I explained everything ok. And if you have any Valentine craft ideas, just let us know by commenting below.
