On Valentine’s Day, express your love for those around you and have fun! Valentine’s Day crafts for kids are a great way to have fun and celebrate the spirit of the holiday. Here are a few great ideas:

Chocolate Boxes<\/strong><\/em><\/big><\/p>\n

Chocolates are a traditional expression of love, especially when a man gives them to a woman. A box of chocolates is akin to flowers and jewelry. Of course, a box of chocolates is by no means a gift exclusively for women; anyone who likes chocolate would be happy to receive a box of chocolates. <\/p>\n

Supplies Needed<\/em><\/p>\n

1 Plain white cookie or chocolate box. You can pick these up at just about any craft store, or even Wal-Mart in the craft aisle. <\/p>\n

Construction paper in Valentine colors<\/p>\n

White school glue or a hot glue gun <\/p>\n

Beads, gems, glitter & other decorative items <\/p>\n

1 marker<\/p>\n

Assorted chocolates<\/p>\n

White cookies and chocolate boxes are made of thick cardstock and come flat. You fold them into the box.
Decorate the box as a creative expression of your love for the recipient by cutting out hearts and cupids. Decorate it with lace and glitter. When you are finished decorating it, use a marker to write a note on it then let it dry completely. Once it’s completely dry, fill it with your recipient’s favorite chocolates and deliver. <\/p>\n

Kiss Guys and Gals<\/strong><\/em><\/big><\/p>\n

This is a fun craft, and will have your kids laughing about the double meaning of kissing girls, and kissing guys. <\/p>\n

Necessary Supplies<\/em><\/p>\n

Colored construction paper
Chocolate kisses
Small googley eyes
Glue<\/p>\n

Glue the googley eyes on to the chocolate kiss, near the bottom. Then cut triangles out of construction paper, twist one into a cone shaped hat and glue it on to the kiss. You can use yarn to add hair under the hat if you wish.

Sweet Jewelry<\/em><\/strong><\/big><\/p>\n

Jewelry is a standard Valentine’s Day gift but children don’t usually have diamonds and gold in their budgets. So, help them make a delicious necklace. <\/p>\n

Supplies Needed<\/em><\/p>\n

Plastic wrap
Curling ribbon
An assortment of Valentine’s Day candies<\/p>\n

Place the candies in the plastic wrap in a long line, the length that you want the necklace to be. Leave some room between each candy then wrap the candies, so they are in a cylinder of plastic wrap. Now, use the curling ribbon to separate each candy, then tie a knot and curl. Tie the ends together to create a loop that can be worn as a necklace. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
