A craft with shaving cream?? My kids would be all over this!
I love how each heart turns out different!
Valentine Shaving Cream Heart Art – Hello, Wonderful

I made this with my kids one year and they LOVED filling up the
snack size ziplock bags with kisses and cars! You just print the printable, cut, fold, staple
on the tags and it’s a cute little DIY valentine! I have made this same idea for years and it’s always a hit!
The printable is in my Etsy Shop: At Home With Natalie a long with other fun themes.
This one was perfect for the boys in their life.

I loved this cute craft because it’s something my kids have always said!
“I love you THISSSSSS much!!” :)
Took me a while to track down this project on Pinterest…
all the links were to round ups and not the actual post. But I finally found it! So cute!

My kids love hand crafts! So this cute tree craft is sure to be a fun one!

I thought this craft was so cute!! My kids would think it’s fun to have the photo of themself blowing hearts!
This would make such a cute gift for grandparents! The best part is for sure the child’s handwriting of their name.
It’s the best capturing that stage!
The Blog post is in Spanish but you can have it translated if needed!

This is just adorable I would hang it in my girls’ room!
We’ve done something similar to this…and it was so exciting for them to
see the final look revealed as we peeled back the tape!
Couldn’t find the original link but here’s where I found it!

This is an easy craft that has all the things my kids love… cutting and glueing. ;)
Seems easy enough…you probably have all the supplies already!

You can get a platter for pretty good price at Walmart (or even the Dollar Tree has some!)
and make it special with this easy craft!

This craft had me at pizza. and paper plate.
Both things we love! Paper plate crafts are so easy and my kids would do them all day.
I’m loving the heart pepperonis. hehe.

One of my most popular printables in my Etsy Shop! (AtHomewithNatalie)
It’s perfect for a non candy valentine. It’s a great inexpensive option if you
buy a big box of goldfish and a thing of snack size ziplock bags!
AND if your school doesn’t allow “homemade” treats…
I’ve had moms staple the tags to the personal goldfish snack backs you can get at the store.
Look how little Sienna is here?! ahh. Where does time go??

Teddy Bears holding Hearts – Hello, Wonderful

Ohhh this photo takes me back! Loved this day with the girls.
I set up a little valentine’s day party for them in their room….
hung a heart garland using clothespins and dollar tree heart doilies!
I got an X and O and spray painted them gold. Made up little heart toppers using glitter card stock paper and lollipop sticks.
The printable is in my Etsy shop for the Keep Calm and Eat Candy sign. :)
The heart rugs are from IKEA! I made their tutus as a fun project earlier in the year
and they wore those things till they were falling a part. haha.
All the details for this are in my blog post – Valentine’s Day: Our DIY Details!

 

My kids LOVE thumbprint art! Ever since I got them this book – Fingerprint Activities: Animals
It’s an easy enough craft that you could get really creative with…
Do flowers and other types of love bugs with the same idea!

My kids LOVE toilet paper rolls and paper towel rolls.. like…
they never want me to throw them away! haha.
This is a perfect craft for them. I think the pipe cleaners are so cute..love that idea!

Last but not least a cute little heart caterpillar!
I feel like my girls would be all over this craft!
Cutting and gluing… and they could totally draw the legs and face on their own.
I’m sure each one would come out with it’s own cute personality!
