Get ready for Valentines Day with this fun and easy to make craft for Toddlers, Preschoolers, and Kindergarten age kids.
Hand Art Valentine's Day Craft for Kids
I love hand art. It makes such precious childhood keepsakes and allows kids to get “hands on” with their art work.
After you’ve covered your surface, and your toddler, put some washable paint on a plate. Allow them to press their hand in the paint.
My 3 year old loved squishing her hand in the paint. She kept asking if she could do it again.
I helped her press her hand carefully on an 11”x8” canvas I got inexpensively at Michaels.
NOTE: You might want to let the paint dry before moving on to the fun sticker part
Toddler Valentine's Day Craft
Next, I wrote out the L, V, and E in pencil. Then my daughter stuck heart stickers on top of the lines I drew. Any heart valentine stickers will do. I would suggest they are similar to one another for a “balanced” project.
Note: Instead of stickers, you could have your child use small heart cookie cutters or sponges and stamp along the pencil letters.
This part was my daughter’s favorite as she could do it independently.
She is so proud of her artwork. And it made such a precious keepsake!
