Valentine Crafts
A creative artistic personalized homemade gift and
card is always the most treasured one too because of all the time and
efforts, one has devoted to it. Valentine parties and activities held in
school parties for kids often introduce interesting craft ideas to
little children to keep them busy and active. Toddlers love to make
something new for their mommy, daddy, grandma and grandpa when they are
appreciated for their efforts and Valentine's Day is a perfect day to
give a boost to the artist in them. Here are some easy craft ideas that
you and your kids can try on this Valentine Day:
- A fantastic idea to gift to your beloved is to cut out a heart out of a thick cardboard and cut it into pieces like a jigsaw puzzle. Cover all the pieces with red glitter and your 'Jigsaw Heart Puzzle' is ready. Pack it in a beautifully decorated shoebox with a note that says, "My heart has gone to pieces without you. Help me to rearrange it, please."
- Kids will simply love to make the lollipop plant as a Valentine gift for their teachers, parents, grandparents or friends. It is inexpensive and easy-to-make too. All you need is some Styrofoam cups, paints, brush and lots of lollipops (preferably heart-shaped), gum, marker and glitter. Paint and decorate your Styrofoam cups in red color and use glitter to decorate it. Inscribe "I Love You" on it for giving it a Valentine touch. Now arrange lots of lollipops in your Valentine vase and make the day sweet for anyone you gift it to. You can decorate your class with entire lollipop garden on Valentine too.
- Take a small clay pot. Cut one end of a small Styrofoam ball to make it flat to be used as the base and keep it in the clay pot. Take any inexpensive ballpoint pen and cover it with green floral tape, leaving just the nib end of the pen. Insert the nib end into the Styrofoam ball, deep enough to hold in the upright position. Attach an artificial rose to the other end of the pen. When you will gift this Valentine Rose Pen, people will think it to be an artificial rose but they will be pleasantly surprised to find a pen wrapped so well inside the rose.
- Decorate a cookie box with cutout hearts, glittering confetti, stickers, drawings, candies, photos of your friend and old greeting card to make a special Valentine greeting box that will cheer the receiver in a jiffy.
- Take a small mirror and attach it to the inside of a plain white card, big enough to hold the mirror. Make a crown or tiara at the top of the mirror. On the outside cover, write with a marker "Open to see the Queen/King of this Valentine". When the person will open the card, they will be happy to see their own reflection in the mirror crowned by you.
