Sweetheart Candy box Frame: Our Favorite Valentine Crafts to help add a touch of love (and sweetness) to your Valentine's Day.

Valentine's Day Sweetheart Picture Frame

 

Valentines Day Craft SweetheartsThis is a great Valentine present for your students to give to their parents. (Or your family to give to grandparents). Recycling a candy box and turning into a magnetic picture frame is sure to make family smile. Of course, then you can use the candies to make your valentines presents for others too!

 

You will need

Individual Sweetheart conversation heart boxes with clear, cellophane heart cut-out on front; one box for each child,

small photo of each child,

strip of self adhesive magnets

tape

WHAT TO DO:

Give each child a small, empty box of conversation hearts. (Make sure you get the boxes that have the heart shaped cut out on the front.)

Take individual pictures of each child, then cut the child's picture out and insert it into the box so that that it will show through the heart shape window in the front.

Tape the picture to the inside of the box to secure it.

Add a strip of self-adhesive magnet to the back of the box and this makes an adorable refrigerator magnet for the parents.

tip: You may want to tape the top of the box shut also to protect the picture.

Valentine's Day is a craft gold mine. You could make anything, decorate it in pink and red hearts - and maybe some paper doilies - and you've got instant love-gushing goodies. The extra bonus is that imperfection is just fine. No one cares about showing glue or crooked edges, which makes it ideal for playing with techniques that might be new to your kids.

SO fun to make you'll want one for each member of your family! (which means there is a lot of candy to eat!)

Valentine's Day is my absolute favorite holiday and I love decking out the house. Our favorite time of year is the Valentine craft season. The weather keeps us indoors more...so we pull out our craft supplies and start creating handmade holiday kids crafts for family and friends. Here is a collection of some of our Valentine craft favorites.
Its a count down to Valentine and we have filled our Valentine pages with lots of easy crafts ideas and Valentine inspiration.

Over the years, we have made simple and fun Valentine's Day crafts for kids including Love Bugs with thumbprints and glitter glue, Heart Head bands, valentine pocket plates, and tons of creative classroom valentines. I’ve found it is always a good idea to have a simple, seasonal craft project in mind when you have a group of kids for a holiday. It brings them together and adds an element of tradition to the festivities. The holidays should be about creating positive lifelong memories.
While your children may not be able to participate in much of the cooking of Valentine dinner for mom and dad or purchasing Valentine gifts, you can put them to use by allowing them to decorate the house in anticipation with handmade Valentine crafts. Our tradition is to set up a craft table with several different projects the weekend before Valentine's day. We use those crafts as presents for teachers, family and decorations for our home.

Here have provided you simple printable instructions with photos of each project so children as young as four can complete the tasks without too much adult assistance.

Crafting and Kids

These seasonal crafts, coloring pages and activities are geared for ages 3 to 8 years old. Designed by a preschool teacher and mother of five children (under 8) these crafts have all been tested and are suitable for preschools, day care, classrooms, troops and of course home.

 

Chosen because they are our favorite crafts perfect for getting the creative juices flowing. Don't be surprised if you child starts creating their own crafts, uses their imaginations more or makes up a story to go along with the completed project. Stock your craft closet and get ready to create.

Create crafts for Valentine's Day that kids & parents can make together. Perfect preschool crafts.
Projects include paper crafts, simple sewing, decorative items, and educational ...

and of course here are some wonderful Valentine crafts for those little angels of yours! Get started on your Easter Crafts or give as gifts to loved ones who need a special pick me up this spring.
