Here is a quick and simple Valentine craft which can be adapted to suit the materials you have to hand and the ages of the children.
You will need:
Card, paper, stickers and other decorations
Glue stick, stapler
Instructions:
Cut strips of paper to make a band which will encircle the child's head, and staple together securely.
Cut heart shapes out of coloured paper and decorate the band to make your very own Valentine Crown.
Ideas:
Heart stickers can make this a very quick and clean activity if you don't want a mess.
Provide card templates of different heart shapes and sizes, or stencils, for older children to trace for extra practice.
Show your child how you can make a symmetrical heart by folding a piece of paper in half before cutting.
Decorate with glitter or sequins for a glamorous effect.
Why not make a special Valentine crown for a favorite doll or teddy too?
