Are you looking for DIY Valentine’s Day crafts for children? If so, you’ve come to the right place! Whether you are searching for gift ideas for classmates or a fun weekend activity, Theresa’s Reviews is featuring an exciting roundup from some top bloggers and influencers. When your Valentine is a little one, spending time on these crafts is the most thoughtful gifts you can give.
DIY Valentine’s Day Crafts
From play dough to lacing hearts, these hands on activities will bring fun and joy to your home for this special holiday. With such entertaining craft ideas, you will be able to please even the fussiest of Valentines. Make your littlest Valentine smile with these creative ideas.
Homemade Valentine’s Play Dough
Homemade Valentine’s play dough is simple to make. You can whip up a pink batch, and add sparkles if you like. Then, choose fun pink and red accessories to knead the dough. Check out the details here to see how props can make Valentine’s play dough time even more fun.
Scissor Practice Valentine’s Cards
Create an extra special Valentine’s Day card, while also practicing scissor skills. Children love making intricate cards instead of buying them, and they will enjoy taking their time to make the card look just right. With some construction paper and simple household craft supplies, you can easily do this activity. Check out how to make the cards here.
Lacing Hearts
Lacing is a wonderful way to help children work on their fine motor skills, to help them develop good handwriting. You don’t have to buy lacing products at the store. Instead, make your own lacing game (and in the shape of a heart) using cardboard. Read the details on how to do this craft here.
Sensory Friendly Valentine’s Crafts
Create a beautiful hanging craft with hearts and ribbons. I like how in this craft, you can even add essential oil to help infuse your house with a relaxing – or invigorating – scent. First, check out the instructions here, and then decide who this special gift should go to on Valentine’s Day. It would be very a thoughtful gift idea for parents and grandparents.
Confetti Heart Boxes
To hold small notes of adoration, create a confetti heart box. You can turn a simple cardboard box into a beautiful keepsake. Whether your child gives these to her classmates or keeps one for herself, children will cherish these adorable crafts. Check out the instructions here.

Nice collection of crafts! We specially love playdoh, and red playdoh is special any time of year. Your daughter is lovely and makes a good model for your photos. Happy Valentine’s!
That lacing activity is so cute. It will be fun for out preschool group!
Such beautiful valentines ideas. Now I just need a cutie like yours to assist me.
Love these ideas. We just went to the craft store and bought tons of craft items to make Vday crafts.
These are great crafts for Valentine’s. I’m bookmarking it so I can come back to it later on when my kids are older.

Nothing beats handmade cards IMO, so definitely card making is something I’ve always enjoyed. Fun craft ideas for kids, thanks!
The Play Do looks like so much fun and like something I would love to do as a kid! Anything that I can touch is a win!
What fun ideas! I think it is so important to do crafts with kids and get their creativity flowing!
These are great Valentine’s day crafts!! I know my kids love making crafts for the holidays like this, my son would love the dough!

Valentines is seriously one of my favorite Holidays to do crafts with my kids! Bring on the fun!
My girls just love Valentine’s Day crafts. They will adore these ideas. Thanks for pulling them together.
I’ve always loved doing Valentine’s Day crafts with my kids! Now that they’re older we don’t do them as much but some of these, like the confetti heart boxes, are great for older kids too. Love these!
All these DIY are so creative, and for sure children would love to make them. The Scissor Practice is quite cute!
What fun craft projects to do with the littles. I remember making clay hearts and lacing valentines with my own little ones!
These are really cute crafts for kids. My son loves doing crafts like this and I’m always looking for some new ones and we will have such fun doing the play dough.
I could totally see those confetti heart boxes becoming a keep-sake box for a mil years to come. And they would be a blast to make!
I love these ideas. I have two little ladies that would love to help make these fun crafts! Thanks for sharing.
I love the idea of Valentine’s Day play dough – I hadn’t heard of it before. Maybe I’ll make a little heart for my boyfriend haha
These look like fun crafts. I like the idea of the homemade Playdoh. Although, my kids are almost adults now, it could still be a fun idea.
I love valentine projects! How cute are these? Spending quality time with your kids is important, too. I want to make some play dough!
These are wonderful crafts for young hands. I particularly like the scissor practice! Nice roundup!
I have to try that playdoh! My sister is 14 and even she would love it. Seems like a quick craft too.
Super cute ideas. I used to love making Valentine’s cupcakes with my Mini Me. She also loved making homemade play dough and making her own colors.
I love all the great holiday ideas for kids. We did a lot of these things when I was a teachers aide in PreK.
My family has always given out V-day cards, but in the last few years it has become hard and hard to find the perfect one for everyone. Now I mostly send goodies to my nieces and nephew, so these crafts would be perfect for them.
I have never heard of lacing hearts! What an neat idea and way to keep kids busy!
I used to do all of these things with my pre-k kiddos when I was an early childhood educator! I miss having the excuse to take part in these adorable crafts!
We haven’t tried lacing hearts (or any lacing craft) yet but should. I’ll look for some ideas for my little guy.
These are all great ways to keep your kids engaged and having fun too. I wish I had known about these when my daughter was young.
These are some adorable kid friendly crafts. I wish I could get my boys to be more creative around the holidays, but they just want to get everything done so fast.
Cute Valentine’s Day craft ideas! My oldest has already been making his own little crafts with some foam heart stickers and paper we have on hand. I like the lacing cards, we may have to do those here!
Wow such great ideas. I love the idea of making playdough. I also love the lace hearts. Beautiful dear. I know my girls will love making these.
We just recently made a Valentine’s Day craft out of buttons! I think it’s a great way to get the kids excited for this lovely day! I really like all of your ideas!
I love the idea of that stitched Valentine’s Day card! I think it’s a great DIY idea for adults too! In fact, I always DIY my Valentine’s Day cards!
