The Directions:

  • First things first – print out TWO copies of our heart printable. One in pink and on in color {feel free to change this step up though!}
  • Go ahead and have children trim out some {or all} the heart shapes from the two printables. These will become the leaves of the tree. Set them aside for now.
  • To make the trunk of the tree, grab your brown cardstock paper, pencil and scissors.
  • Pick a hand – any hand will do! Have your child lay one hand in the center of the paper.
  • Using the pencil, trace around your child’s hand and part of their arm as well.
  • Trim out that design and discard excess paper.
  • Now we are heading towards the last few steps! Grab all your paper pieces and the large paper plate.
  • Glue the heart cutouts ALL over the paper plate. Anywhere you want! There are no real rules to this step.
  • To finish off the Paper Plate Valentine’s Day Tree – simply staple the handprint cutout to the decorated paper plate.
  • And that’s it! Now display it proudly for ALL to see!

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
