Valentine Pal: Craft for Kids




This is a very simple Valentine craft I prepared and LB(3) put together: our own little valentine pal!
♥

Prep Work:
  • Get out a piece of pink and red construction paper.
  • Cut a big heart out of the pink (for the body), and 4 small hearts (for the hands & feet).
  • Cut out 4 small strips out of the red (for the arms & legs).

Craft it!


  • Give the pieces to your child and show them how to glue them on to make their own little valentine pal! 
    • (I laid it all out and showed LB what the arms and legs were, and the hands and feet. Then I just handed him the glue and let him glue it all together.)
  • Then give them a marker and have them draw a face for their pal!
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!
♥

This is one of our favorites! My kids did this one last week, and I'll be posting it with my letter H crafts. We like to do a fan-fold for the arms and legs.

Crafts & Activities for BOYS!

It can sometimes be tricky to find crafts and learning activities that will capture a little boy's attention span. Believe me, I know! I have 3 little boys and so many of our crafts and activities are along themes of things that little boys often love! Cars, Trucks, Planes, Bugs, Dinosaurs, Legos, Sports, Animals, Space, etc. So here is our collection of tried and true crafts and activities for boys! 
(P.S. And don't worry, I also have 2 little girls, and can verify that each of these are also 100% girl approved too!)




And if you are wondering where to get SUPPLIES for these crafts and activities, check out this post!

Build a Dinosaur!

Our recent theme for Preschool@Home was DINOSAURS! This is a great (and super easy) activity for helping kids learn and recognize shapes. Using craft foam means it can be used over and over again! And the possibilities are endless.
Or use some glue on the shapes and it could also become a one-of-a-kind dinosaur craft! No matter how you use it, this simple dinosaur activity will most likely produce some very unique prehistoric creatures!
