Hello craft loving parents and caretakers! If you’re looking for a fun Valentine’s Day craft for preschoolers, look no further than the goofy and giggly handprint love monster craft idea from us!
Today I’m sharing a simple yet creative craft idea that both little kids and parents will love—handprint love monsters!
With Valentine’s Day around the corner, I wanted to come up with an arts and crafts project for preschoolers that incorporates fun elements of the holiday without being too centered on romance.
By using their hands to create sweet “monsters” out of paper, googly eyes, and other materials, children get to proudly display their handiwork while also giving their parents a one-of-a-kind little valentine.
These handprint love monsters are entertaining for little ones to assemble and make for a memorable keepsake.
Keep reading to see how you can bring this craft to life with your preschoolers using basic supplies likely already found around the house!
