We loved this Valentine’s Day activity because it was easy, inexpensive and colorful. Plus using the hole punch worked my preschooler’s fine motor skills. The result is beautiful and is guaranteed to warm your hearts.

Valentine Crafts Activities for Kids: Make a Suncatcher

Valentine Crafts Activities

Cut the construction paper into small squares, then punch the hearts from the paper.

Work with your preschooler if paper punching is new to him. This activity can be very difficult for small hands and fingers but great fine motor skill work.

Valentine Crafts for kids: cute heart suncatcher activity

Valentine Crafts for Kids

Place contact paper onto your table. Secure it with painters tape. Allow your child to pour, pinch, place, dump, shake – whatever method he chooses – the paper hearts onto the contact paper. Take time to explore the table and create a lovely design, together. I used this time as an opportunity to discuss “love”: What is love? What do we love in life? We also took this time to add stickers and medium and large paper heart cut outs.

Catch The Sun

To finish up the project, I cut out two hearts (one for each of my boys) from the contact paper and outlined it with sticker paper. Placing the hearts on the windows was lovely. The boys were so happy to see their work displayed and to see the light shine through their hearts.

    Make sure you put a covering on the floor before you paint.

    maintain a house worth $400,000.

  4. Heya i’m for the first time here. I came across this board and I in finding It really helpful & it helped me out a lot. I hope to provide something again and aid others such as you helped me.

  5. great idea, like it more than the crayon shaving, waxpaper suncatcher but the directions are confusing — I think you mean to say put the punched hearts onto the contact paper and the last step is also confusing, i am assuming you have to fold the contact paper at some point and then cut it into a heart shape.

  6. I thought they were little pieces of paper in the sun catcher. How fun is the heart punch?! This is such a cute project.
