Craft Supplies:

Before we begin creating these adorable paper crafts, here’s a quick list of what you’ll need to get started. The best part—it’s likely you already have many of these items at home:

Now that you’ve gathered everything, let’s jump into crafting!

Directions:

  • First download and print out the FREE you make my heart POP printable listed above, on a single piece of cardstock paper. You will need to print ONE for each craft you want to do with your child today.
  • If desired, kids can color in the pastry design but since I used brown paper for my example image, I skipped that step.
  • Now help your child cut/tear their second sheet of paper into small pieces.
  • Next grab the school glue and put a good amount of it in the center of the pastry design, to create the “frosting.”
  • Have children place their paper pieces on top of the glue {adding more if needed} until it’s is completely covered.
  • The final step is to add swirls of glitter glue and loose craft glitter for the “sprinkles.”
  • Once done decorating, set aside to let it all dry completely before displaying/gifting your child’s handmade Valentine’s Day pastry card proudly!

To make the craft session even sweeter, consider pairing it with baking actual pastries in the kitchen or reading fun Valentine’s-themed books. Combine hands-on cooking and crafting for a day filled with creativity (and yummy treats!}

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!
