Valentine's Day Crafts for Kids

Valentine's Day is right around the corner, and though it's meant to harbor feelings of love and friendship, many parents are stressing out. That's because for the most part some feel they have to come up with some fabulous and unique crafts for their kids to assemble. Homemade Valentine's Day gifts seem to make the heart grow fonder, so parents and their kids need not fear. Here are some inexpensive and quick crafts that can be made.

Valentine's Day Scroll - All you will need is a piece of canvas paper or white construction paper, red and green craft paint, paintbrush, marker, and a ribbon. By the way, your child's hands are the most important piece of material! Lay paper flat on table and cover one child's entire palm with red paint. When the painted hand is placed on the paper, it will resemble a flower. This craft comes out best when using only two handprints to make two flowers. Repeat with the other hand, and you're halfway there. Next, paint on the stems and leaves with the green paint. Using your marker, your child can write a Valentine's Day message to the intended recipient in between the flowers. You can either finish with the scroll at this point or make a border around the paper by drawing tiny flowers or hearts around the page. Once dried, roll the paper up and tie with the ribbon. Voila!
