Origami Love Hearts

Origami for Young Children

I found this origami love heart at Christmas. I had been looking for some easy decorations to make , this one was easy and looked great when finished .We used scraps of paper, card ,wrapping paper and glitter and by Christmas eve my doors were covered in hearts. I have put photos of how to make it on my Children's origami page, but to be honest it could be made by primary or nursery children it is that easy.

Magnetic Heart Craft

Valentine's Day Gifts

 

 

I must admit I am a fan of the Hobbycraft Stores! This lovely Magnet was only£1.99 add some decoration and it makes a nice little gift on Valentine's Day. It comes as a plain mache magnetic heart ,that you can decorate anyway you like.

 

May and I started with layers of pva and tissue paper ,its messy but it looks good when its dry. One thing my daughter loves is getting messy, never complains!

 Then we decorated it with glitter glue and sticky on stars.Not bad for a cheap magnet ! So if you are looking for Valentine's day crafts check out Hobbycraft for supplies

Love Heart Crafts for Children

Foam Hearts

I always like simple crafts for Preschool children. My aim when I worked in nursery schools was to make sure the crafts were done by the children not the adults. This pretty heart was a simple idea ,that also taught kids how to put shapes in order of size. 4 hearts like the ones below can be used or even just 3.

Then they can decorate and give to some one special!
