List Of Valentine Crafts For Kids 

• Paper Heart Flower

Materials required:

• White paper
• Green paper
• Green paper straws
• Paper clips
• Markers
• Glue
• Tape
• Scissors

Instructions: Here’s one of the best Valentine crafts for kids! Cut out a flower from your white paper or colored paper. If the paper is white, instruct your kids to color the flower. Next, cut a circle out of yellow paper and glue it in the center of your flower. You could write ‘I love you!’ on that yellow circle. Next, glue a green paper straw at the back of your flower and you’re done making your flower. 

But wait, where’s the heart? To make the heart, all you have to do is first fold the flower in half, then again at a right angle, and again at an angle of 45 degrees. You’ll need to push the folds inside the flower shape to finally make the heart. It might be a little tricky but once you get it done, there’s nothing like it. Next, draw a bee (or simply print it!) with your marker and stick the bee to your paper heart flower. Once you add your ‘stem’, don’t forget to make a leaf for the stem too.
