Valentine’s Day Crafts: Kindergarten Valentines

By MaryAnne

Valentines are my favorite Valentine’s Day crafts, and I love the variety five-year-old Emma put into these valentines – proof that sometimes it’s best to hand kids the supplies and leave them to it. They’ll do it differently on their own, and that can be a good thing!

It’s a good thing with your children especially, who each are blessed with loads of creativity and space and supplies to bring it to light!

Sometimes I am so tempted when we’re doing crafts to give the kids advice but I find, like you, that if I just let them do it, it turns out way cuter than anything I could have told them to do.

I can see that Emma is addicted to Scotch tape and very inventive :)

I agree! Much better to let the kids do the designing!

Adorable! I’m a definite believer in open-ended art, as opposed to “Lets all make something that looks exactly like THIS!”

I love these! My kindergartener decided she wanted to do boxed cards this year and I was sad…

I guess I should do that too- just allow my daughter’s creativity to shine through when doing crafts. I get all OC and keep telling her how to do things :). That hampers instead of develops her talents.

It’s lovely to receive a card that has not been mass produced and obviously made with love. Emma came up with such gorgeous variations for her Valentine’s day cards.

Those are so sweet! She did a great job. Doing it differently definitely is a good thing. You can tell she really thought about what she was doing and hand crafted each one. :)
