35 VALENTINE'S DAY CARD CRAFT IDEAS FOR KIDS

LJ


Posted by Laura Jackson





There's still something special that only homemade items can express. This
Valentine’s Day look for new ways to express your care and appreciation by
making gifts for others. Try some of these ideas and send your favorite people a
sweet surprise.  


CRAFT YOUR HEART OUT

A simple heart shape can be created out of almost any material and says love in
any size and color you desire for your card. 

 1.  Sweethearts - Use candy to create and paste heart shapes on your cards and
     packages. Conversation and cinnamon hearts work well for these.
 2.  Blended Hearts - Using markers or colored pencils, create areas of bright,
     blended colors across a page of white or colored cardstock. Then cut hearts
     from the best parts of the paper to attach to handmade cards and to use as
     gift tags.
 3.  Magazine Hearts - Find your favorite colors and interesting patterns from
     pages of old magazines and start cutting all sorts of shapes and sizes.
 4.  Mosaic Hearts - Your local craft store has colorful stones and glass pieces
     made specifically for creating a mosaic. Want a full nature experience?
     Paint hearts on stones you find while adventuring outside.
 5.  Tissue Paper Hearts - You probably have leftover tissue paper in different
     colors and patterns stashed away. Cut out a variety of shapes and sizes to
     embellish cards and notes. These are great for paper mosaic cards as well.
 6.  Stringing Them Along Hearts - Use string, ribbon, or yarn to create hearts
     as well as cupid and arrow designs.
 7.  Bubble Wrap Hearts - Cut whimsical hearts from the squishy packing material
     to paste on cards or artwork.
 8.  Torn Hearts - Try a variety of papers and colors and start tearing for very
     natural and interesting heart shapes.
 9.  Heart Stamps - They're always available at the craft store, along with ink
     pads in favorite Valentine’s colors.
 10. Heart Art - Use watercolors to paint beautiful hearts on paper or card
     stock. Then get creative with materials like glitter, stickers, puff paint
     or markers. Gift your masterpiece to a special someone!

FIND YOUR HEART A HOME

After making beautiful, handcrafted hearts, discover all the creative ways you
can use them. 

 1.  Sprinkle with Care - Create a special pathway of hearts that leads to
     additional Valentine's Day surprises.
 2.  String Them - String your hearts on long pieces of yarn or ribbon to make
     heart necklaces and bracelets.
 3.  Décor Galore - Use your hearts to decorate gifts, baskets of treats or
     other surprises for your Valentines.
 4.  Fill to the Top with Love - Fill all sorts of containers with your
     thoughtful hearts such as jars, vases, or candy dishes. Tie your containers
     with ribbons and don't forget a love message.
 5.  Make Googly Eyes for Each Other - Invent all sorts of fun characters using
     hearts and googly eyes from "love bugs" to "heart monsters" and more.
 6.  Frame Them - Use hearts to design the outside of a picture frame for a
     special Valentine's Day photo opportunity.
 7.  Compose Love Messages - Write sweet notes on your hearts and leave them in
     all sorts of surprising places. Consider granting special privileges with
     different hearts such as a back massage or doing the dishes.
 8.  Cute as a Button - Place buttons in the middle of your hearts, sew the
     hearts to a piece of cloth to be framed for a special Valentine's Day
     memory.
 9.  Hang in There - Create banners proclaiming your true love by stringing or
     pasting your crafted hearts.
 10. Leaf it to Love - Make a heart tree using branches from the back yard and a
     pot or vase you also decorate. Attach your hearts as leaves.

Request volunteers to make Valentine’s cards for seniors with an online sign
up. View an Example


MAKE LIFE SWEETER FOR YOUR VALENTINE

Valentine's Day is just not the same without a little extra sugar for your
sugar. 

 1. Start the Day with Heart Pancakes - Be sure to include some protein like
    bacon or turkey sausage on the side to help with Valentine's Day sugar
    overloads.
 2. Chocolate Covered Anything - Ok, almost anything. Think strawberries,
    cookies, dipped pretzels with red and pink sprinkles, cherries,
    marshmallows, graham crackers, nuts, red gummy bears, brownie bites and
    beyond.
 3. Rice Krispies Hearts - Whip up your usual Rice Krispies treat recipe and use
    a heart-shaped cookie cutter. Then dip half of each heart in melted white or
    regular chocolate.  Complete your treat with colored sprinkles to add that
    extra loving touch.
 4. Red Velvet-Themed - Try red velvet cake, cupcakes, cheesecake, brownies and
    more.
 5. Conversation Hearts Galore - Creative messages that include, but also go
    beyond the expected "Be Mine" and "I'm Yours" can be put on many sweet
    treats from cookies and brownies to cupcakes and truffles.






PUCKER UP FOR SOMETHING REFRESHING

Make delicious mocktails to wet the whistle. (Note: All of the following may
also be splashed with adult spirits after the kids go to bed...) 

 1. Strawberry Shortcake Delight - First run a strawberry around the glass rim
    then dip in crushed vanilla wafers to use as garnish. Blend ice cream,
    strawberries and whip cream. Complete the garnish with a sprig of mint.
 2. Cranberry Lemon Punch - Mix sparkling water, cranberry juice cocktail and
    frozen pink lemonade concentrate.
 3. Raspberry Limeade Cooler - Gently shake lemon-lime soda, crushed ice,
    raspberries and fresh lime.
 4. Sparkling Strawberry Floats - Combine ginger ale, strawberry sorbet and
    fresh strawberries.
 5. Berry Love Potion - Simply stir raspberry lemonade with lemon-lime soda and
    a splash of cherry juice. Top with a toothpick holding a maraschino cherry
    nestled between two gummy hearts.

CREATE A VALENTINE'S DAY BOUQUET

There's absolutely nothing wrong with the traditional flower bouquet, but also
consider some of these alternatives. 

 1. Cake Pops - Iced in a variety of colors, flavors and designs, these luscious
    treats make a beautiful and tasty bouquet and look lovely in a vase.
 2. Handmade Paper Flowers - There are endless virtual how-to tutorials to help
    you get started, and these paper blooms will last so much longer.
 3. Chocolate-Covered Strawberry Bouquet - Put these amazing berries on sticks
    (bbq skewers work nicely); add colorful ribbons; finish with a sweet note.
 4. Blow Candy Kisses - Wrap candy kisses in red tissue paper to create edible
    rosebuds; use green floral tape to connect your flower to a wooden skewer,
    then tie them all up with frilly ribbons.
 5. Gourmet Donuts - Visit your local donut shop and select a dozen
    Valentine-inspired treats. Don’t forget to pick some with sprinkles!

America's favorite cartoonist, the late Charles M. Schultz, once aptly described
our obsession with finding the perfect gift for this sweet day, "All you need is
love. But a little chocolate now and then doesn't hurt." Happy Valentine's Day!
