Valentine's Day Crafts

Here at The Academy of Gateway we are getting ready for Valentine's Day! We are loving all of the decorations and art projects hanging up in our building and classrooms. With Valentine's Day right around the corner I wanted to find fun activities that you and your family can do at home. :)

It's a Draw

 

Have old crayons laying around?  Turn old

 crayon bits into a nifty  Valentine favor or

 gift by baking them in silicone heart molds.

 Kids can fill the molds to create their 

own marbleized patterns.

Love Bugs

 

 Almost too cute to eat! Put out the supplies 

at your Valentine party for these little love

 bug treats and let kids decorate their 

own marshmallow critters.

 Coming Up Roses

 The bottom of celery stalks get a second 

life when used as rose stamps.

 Tiny Valentine

Great valentines come in small packages 

with these adorable matchbox valentines.

 Your kid can help by sorting the sweets, 

choosing fun craft paper to wrap up her

 tiny delights and adding her illustrations.

Grow to Love

 

All you need for this keepsake project is

 finger paint and some wee hands. His 

forearm imprint makes the trunk, a hand 

print forms the branches and tiny thumbprints 

make the heart-shaped leaves.
