You might think it’s easier to just run to the dollar store and buy a box of Valentine’s Day cards for the kiddos to hand out at school, but that can feel a bit boring.

Why not get them engaged in a crafting activity instead? It sparks their mind and imagination, which is great for developing skills. They get to use their hands, learn how to craft unique things, and have fun at the same time.

There are so many things to craft using paper, plates, popsicle sticks, yarn, toilet paper rolls, and other crafting supplies from the dollar store.

I remember one of my favorites as a kid was making Cookie Monster and Elmo out of construction paper and wrapping each hand around a Valentine’s Day chocolate bar. Instead of premade Valentine’s Day cards, I would cut out my Elmo and Cookie Monster shapes, add googly eyes, and stick a printed message on them.

This can even be practical for teens and adults when giving something to someone special, especially when you want them to know you made it with your own hands and with love.

Here are some of the best kids’ crafts you can do for Valentine’s Day that are actually memorable and fun. Because when it comes to Valentine’s Day, it really is the thought that crafts.
