27 Valentine's Day Crafts for Preschoolers - Discovering Mommyhood (2024)

I have been scouring Pinterest for cute and adorable Valentine’s Day crafts and activities for preschoolers and I’m happy to share 27 of them!

Valentine’s Day is coming up soon, and I think it’s such a cute holiday for preschoolers!

Most of the Valentine’s Day crafts for preschoolers on this list are super cute and actually quite simple. Totally doable with littles at home!

I’m looking forward to making these crafts and doing these activities with my boys over the next few weeks. I hope you are able to find some Valentine’s Day crafts and activities to do with your littles as well!

Valentine’s Day Crafts for Preschoolers

Easy Mess-Free Valentine’s Day Activity

This is one of my own! We did this last year, and planning on trying it again this year as well. I think I might try making it a bit smaller this time and maybe add it to the front of a Valentine’s Day card 🙂

Crayon and Watercolor Magic Art Heart

We recently did this activity, but drew snowflakes. I plan on doing it again, but drawing a heart instead and also changing the color to red/pink!

Check out the reel I made for this activity!

Valentine’s Day Heart Alphabet Matching Activity

I created this Valentine’s Day alphabet matching sensory bin activity, to help my son practice his lower-case and capital letter recognition. The printable is free to download, so head over here to get it!

Candy Heart Letter “Tracing”

I have dot marker worksheets for every letter of the alphabet. Usually we use dot markers to “write” the letters, but I thought it would be fun to use candy hearts or any Valentine’s Day candy to trace the letters instead.

Head over to this page to download the free printable worksheets!

Candy Heart Pattern by Pocket of Preschool

This is one I am planning on doing with my son. I know he’s going to love it since he gets to play with candy, and I’m pretty sure one or two of them will end up in his mouth 🙂

Coffee Filter Valentine Heart Sun Catcher from Creative Family Fun

I love sun catchers, so we’ve done several sun catchers for homeschool preschool. This one different from the ones we’ve done, and I’m excited to try it out!

Heart Cup Tower Challenge from Little Bins For Little Hands

This looks like a really fun interactive activity for preschoolers!

Heart Launcher from Little Bins For Little Hands

I’m sure my boys are going to be really excited to launch little heart candies around our apartment!

Candy Structures from Little Bins For Little Hands

We did this activity with marshmallows and toothpicks the other day, and the boys had so much fun! I think this activity can also be used for alphabet letter practice, and I plan on asking my preschooler to make different letters with the candy and toothpicks.

Blooming Hearts from Entertain Your Toddler

I saw this on Pinterest, and it looks so mesmerizing! Plus it’ll be great fine motor practice to cut out the hearts together.

Heart Man from the Resourceful Mama

We haven’t used our googly eyes in a while, so I think this will be the perfect opportunity! This little heart man is super cute! And I think you can definitely make several of them in different colors and characterize them as well!

Valentine’s Day Heart Wreath from the Resourceful Mama

This one is super simple and looks so pretty!

Bee Mine Valentine’s Day Craft from the Resourceful Mama

We have a ton of toilet paper rolls that I save up for crafts, so I’m excited to get to use some! And this one is so cute! A great one to send to grandparents too!

Yarn Paper Heart Craft by Natural Beach Living

Over the holidays, I bought these blunt needles to string cranberries. My 3.5 year-old loved stringing cranberries! It was a great fine motor activity, and also kept him occupied for a good 30 minutes–definitely a win in my book! So I’m think he will really enjoy this activity as well!

Heart Fingerprint Tree by Easy Peasy and Fun

I think this one will be a really great Valentine’s Day activity for toddlers especially. And a really cute one to send to grandparents as well.

Yarn Wrapped Heart Craft by Easy Peasy and Fun

This one also is a super cute and easy activity for toddlers. I think it’ll be really cute to make a few of them and string them together and hang them up as decoration.

Heart Hedgehog Craft by Fireflies and Mud Pies

This heart hedgehog is such a cute Valentine’s Day card to gift to your child’s friends or teachers!

Paper Heart Chain by From ABCs to ACTs

We made a Christmas countdown chain at the beginning of December, and my preschooler loved making it and then taking one chain off each day. I plan on making this one at the beginning of February and doing the same!

Rainbow Paper Heart Wreath by Hello, Wonderful

This is very similar to the activity above, but you can make the heart chain into a wreath as well! I think it looks so adorable!

Tissue Paper Heart by Sweet and Simple Living

We’ve used tissue paper for our sun catchers, but we haven’t used them like this. I think this gives the Valentine’s Day crafts a fun texture!

Valentine’s Day Caterpillar by Crafting Cheerfully

This activity is so cute! Definitely has some Very Hungry Caterpillar vibes, and I love that you can incorporate number practice as well!

Marbled Valentine Heart Shaving Cream by Meaningful Mama

This marbled Valentine Heart Shaving Cream activity will definitely get a bit messy, but it looks like so much fun! And the final product looks so pretty as well!

Valentine Mouse by Non-Toy Gifts

This is another great craft to use our saved up toilet paper rolls!

Toddler Valentine Heart Bouquet by Arty Crafty Kids

I love this! This would make a great Valentine’s Day gift for teachers 🙂

Handprint Valentine Heart Tree by Arty Crafty Kids

They used old book pages or newspaper for this craft, and it gives it such a unique look! Super cute!

Washi Tape Heart Sun Catcher by Kids Craft Room

Another sun catcher! I did a similar washi tape craft for Christmas, and excited to try this one out!

Valentine’s Day Birdfeeders by Simply Joy

I’ve been wanting to make a bird feeder with my boys, and this one looks simple and so cute!
