12 Fun Valentine’s Day Crafts For Kids (2024)

You and your little one will LOVE to get messy and play with these Valentine's crafts and activities

12 Fun Valentine’s Day Crafts For Kids (1)

Sure, your baby has NO idea what Valentine's Day is, but we're all about sharing the love and doing a craft with your baby is a great way to get them involved. As parents you might think crafts for babies are limited (and you'd be right) but with you close by their side to help, together you can create some lurve-inspired crafts to proudly share with family or stick pride of place on the kitchen fridge.

Not to mention, baby crafts come with a ton of benefits. Getting babies involved with crafts from an early age can help them begin to identify shapes, colour, and texture and help to kickstart their fine motor skills. Arts and crafts often come with sensory play, fun and engaging, and it creates the perfect bonding experience for you and your little bundle of joy. Be prepared though, we're sure some of these will get a bit messy especially with excitable little 'uns.

To help with the inspiration, we've shared some super cute Valentine's Day craft ideas we found online along with the craft supplies that'll get your little one playing and giggling with glee in no time.

Love-inspired craft ideas to do with your baby

Valentines Fingerprint Canvas

All your little one needs to use for this craft is their fingers to create this canvas that any grandparents would love to have. Just put down a stencil first and pull off when they're finished getting messy! Don't want to get the paints involved? You could achieve something similar letting them scribble with crayons or pens.

Clay Footprint Bowl

Baby's teeny tiny feet sure don't stay small, but you can remember just how diddy they were by printing them onto a clay bowl. You'll have to make the clay bowl yourself mind (somehow don't think your baby will master making that yet) but you can use the dish for jewellery or just an adorable keepsake.

Heart Crafts

You won't need much for this one - just draw a heart outline and let your little one decorate with tissue paper, watercolour paints, or pom poms to create pretty pictures. If you want them to stay in the lines, make sure to cut out the heart and then stick on plain paper or card afterwards.

What can you do on Valentine's Day with a baby?

It's the season of love and while we're absolutely spoiling our little ones on the daily, there's no better way to spend the day than to make it extra special for you both. As well as making some cute crafts together, you could:

• Dress them up in a Valentine's Day outfit for an impromptu photoshoot. You could even use these new pics to send to family and friends to spread the love, and cuteness, around.

• Lots of cuddles and snuggles - this was a given.

• Have a special Valentine's Day lunch with heart shaped treats for you and baby.

• Read a love-inspired book. A personal favourite of ours, and a classic, is 'Guess How Much I Love You' by Sam McBratney.

• Spend time with family or friends so you're both surrounded by people you love.

• Treat yourself! If you feel good, no doubt your baby will be feeling good too.
