Free Valentine’s Day Crafts for Kids

My favorite way to celebrate holidays in our homeschool is by crafting with my kids. It is a great way to discuss the holiday that you are learning about while spending some quality time with your children. Free Valentine’s Day crafts are some of my favorite crafts to do. They don’t cost a thing and make adorable gifts.

Valentine’s Crafts for Kids

I have three girls who love to decorate our home for every holiday. Valentine’s Day is a fun one because red, white and pink is so pretty and looks great in our house. We love all the fun heart shapes and lots of hearts everywhere!

Little girls love to create, so we made a lot of crafts when they were younger. These would be proudly displayed on the wall, the fridge, a bulletin board or wherever we could hang them up.

My husband even made us a board with clips on it so we could change out their art work with each holiday. Many of these creations would get tossed when the holiday was over, or given away to family as gifts. 

Holiday Crafts

As my girls have gotten older they like to make DIY crafts that can be used as holiday decorations too. Handicrafts are great for decorating with for holidays. They are a nicer quality and last for a long time and can be used over and over again. We really enjoy these “non disposable” crafts and decor.
