The Christmas decorations are down, and the doors are looking pretty bare. It’s been gloomy and rainy, and the excitement of new Christmas toys has worn down.
What better time to start making some cute Valentine’s decorations?
I prepped for the activity by cutting out lots and lots of hearts in various sizes and colors.
Last year we made some cute “heart kitties,” and both of my little crafters wanted to make some again. 
Monkey was so happy with his little cat… He kept calling it his baby kitty. 
After making her kitty, my 5 year-old decided to try making a dog.
It turned out pretty cute! 
By the end of our crafting time, we had 2 cats, a dog, a pretty funny alien, a snake, and a butterfly made from hearts.

We still have plenty of hearts left… I can’t wait to see what they come up with next time!
Any suggestions?

Those are so cute!!!
These are so cute! The butterfly is my favorite. I remember when I was a little girl my mom always had a craft for us on the holidays. I loved it.

I’ll have to tell my daughter!
I don’t remember doing a lot of crafts at home, but I do remember doing holiday crafts at school, and they were always fun. I guess that’s why we do so many now at home!
Cute little ideas!
Thanks!
I loved just having the hearts ready and seeing what they tried to come up with!
Such adorable crafts!!! You ROCK the craft gig lady!!!

LOL — thanks! Now to think of some other Valentine’s Crafts since we still have a couple weeks to go!
I can’t stand how plain and dull my house looks after the Christmas decorations come down…even though I am ready the day after Christmas to take them down. I love that you are already working on putting some life back onto the walls.

The house does seem dreary after all the Christmas decorations come down… And it’s just been dreary outside; a pop of color is just what the house needs!
Those are really cute! I need to get started on some Valentines crafts.
Thanks — they had fun with them!
Those came out great. Great craft for the kids.
I remember doing valentines crafts. Remember doing something with doilies or whatever they were called

I think doilies were a big thing when I was younger and we did Valentine’s crafts….
Haven’t seen too many of them now a days!
I love these! I may have to use this idea on my blog. I am doing a 365 day crafty project thing…and my theme is hearts. I will give you credit!

I’d love to see your take on the heart animals!
These are too cute! My daughter would love the cats because we have a cat.

Oh, no, I love puns!
I have to say the cat was both of their favorites, too.
