I Love You to Pieces Valentine’s Day Craft

With very little, you can easily express your love with a simple and easy Valentine’s Day craft. My five year old daughter had so much fun gluing all the red pieces of tissue paper all over the heart. This is such a cheap and easy craft for kids in preschool, kindergarten, even grade school. It’s a wonderful paper craft that most people can make. What better way to show someone you love them this February than with a cheap and easy craft like this?

Toddlers love using scissors. Just ask my daughter! Have your kids cut the pieces of red tissue paper for an exciting Valentine’s Day fine motor activity. Even picking up each piece of tissue paper to glue them on the heart requires fine motor skills to grasp each thin piece of tissue paper which is beneficial to the development of toddlers and younger children.
