12 Fun Valentine’s Day Crafts For Kids

All your little one needs to use for this craft is their fingers to create this canvas that any grandparents would love to have. Just put down a stencil first and pull off when they're finished getting messy! Don't want to get the paints involved? You could achieve something similar letting them scribble with crayons or pens.

This is a super simple card for little ones to make; all you need is a heart-shaped cookie cutter, some paint, and card for the masterpiece.

Baby's teeny tiny feet sure don't stay small, but you can remember just how diddy they were by printing them onto a clay bowl. You'll have to make the clay bowl yourself mind (somehow don't think your baby will master making that yet) but you can use the dish for jewellery or just an adorable keepsake.

Let your baby go wild with icing and Valentine's sprinkles and decorations. You can also let them get involved in the making of the Heart Rice Krispie Pops for extra sensory play, or just let them decorate shop-bought biscuits if you're looking for something even simpler. Either way, it's all going to take delicious.

Another cute card idea, turn your baby's handprints into a bouquet of red roses for a loved one. Super easy to do, just make sure it dries before you start making it into the final card.

You won't need much for this one - just draw a heart outline and let your little one decorate with tissue paper, watercolour paints, or pom poms to create pretty pictures. If you want them to stay in the lines, make sure to cut out the heart and then stick on plain paper or card afterwards.

Get yourself some clear glass gems, craft magnets, and fingerprint ink pads and you can make some lovely magnets for the fridge imprinted with your baby's thumbprint. If you want to get a little more crafty, you can even turn these into necklaces or keychains.

Rock painting is a fab way to inspire creativity in little ones - let them colour and paint their rock to their heart's delight and you can come in after with the finishing touches.

How cute are these? These Cupid arrows use minimal supplies and just require sticking together (again, you might need to assist on the placement here).

You'll definitely need to assist with this one, but we love how simple and effective this Valentine's card is, using your little baby's handprint as the berry. There are loads of these on Pinterest if you'd like more inspo.
