I have two left hands when it comes to crafts, so I’ve asked Craft Queen Maggy Woodley of Red Ted Art fame to come to my rescue and share ten amazing Valentine’s Day crafts with you. They’re not only super cute but also great activities to make with your kids on these grey and miserable January days. But enough from me, you’re all here for the expert, right?

Valentine’s Day craft ideas
- It’s such a joy to look at certain type of crafts as time goes. Footprint crafts are one type of those memory evoking crafts where you keep going back in your thoughts to recall the time when your child was your little boy or girl. We love making such crafts, like these salt dough Valentine’s day footprint hearts.
- Mobiles are fun, you have to agree! We simply adore this happy little heart felt mobile! Just imagine it hanging in your room! Pretty, right?
- For avid readers in your life, or kids who share the same class, make some of these adorable love bug corner bookmarks! Too cute! Makes reading all the more fun!
- Lacing is one of the skills kids need in everyday life, from shoe lacing to sewing. Grab couple paper plates and invite kids to make paper plate heart sewing craft as they practice their fine motor skills.
- Have you tried finger knitting before? It’s not as hard as it looks! Try it this Valentine’s day and make few finger knitting hearts with kids. Use them to decorate your home or classroom, if you decide to make it into a class project.

Massive thanks to Maggy for sharing these fun ideas with us. Before you all get creative yourself, though, let me know which of these you like the best. I’m a little bit in love with the mobile. It’s just adorable and it would look super cute in Amy’s bedroom.
