Heart crafts abound when it gets close to Valentine’s Day! This week we talked about the things we love, family, friends, favorite hobbies… And then we incorporated those into a Heart Collage Craft!
We used “fancy scissors” to cut out heart shapes for our collage.
Then I used a black marker to divide each heart into sections. (For younger children you may want to make fewer sections.)
After that, it was time to get crafty!
We used stickers and markers to decorate each section with something we love. Get creative! Use words, draw pictures, use stickers…
Each heart is a beautiful reflection of the individual who create it.
My daughter included family, cats and dogs, writing, flowers….
And my son drew a scene of us taking a walk together, a campfire, and a pencil for drawing.
This was such a fun heart craft. I plan on writing the year on the back of our heart collages and keeping them to look back on when they are older.
More kids Valentine’s Day crafts:

This is such a great idea! I will bring this up at my next pre-k teaching day to possibly do this with our kids!

I hope they have as much fun with it as we did! (keep in mind the younger the kids you have, the fewer spots you probably want to have them fill in on the heart.)

Cute! Because you used construction paper (it looks that way anyway) be sure to laminate them to preserve the colors! Laminating will also make them more durable for using in decorations for years to come.

I do tend to keep my favorite homemade decorations…and this one will probably be one I keep since it shows what they love at this time of their lives. Great idea to laminate it!

these hearts are so cute! Good idea to section the heart off!

I had been wanting to do some type of collage with the kids, and decided to mix it with our Valentine’s crafting. 😉
Heather says
I just love this idea. It’s so great for the kids to use their imagination and create their own hearts filled with their own idea. Great idea! Thanks for sharing with us today on our Facebook share day.
