Heart Candle Votive
Make a candle votive for Grandma using a votive glass and tissue paper! You cut out hearts from the tissue paper and use pop podge to keep it on the glass. The end result is beautiful! It is a semi-messy and fun Valentines craft, but so worth it. via Mess for Less
Homemade Treat Bags
This is one of my favorite DIY Valentines crafts for kids? Why? Because you make such an awesome gift, but it also teaches a life skill. Sew paper bags to create “hearts” homemade treat bags. via Inspired by Family Mag
Salt Dough Heart Ornaments
Ornaments are not just for Christmas. This is such a fun and a doh able Valentine. Get it? I’ll see myself out….But in all seriousness your little one can play with salt dough to create hanging hearts, and then put them on your Valentine’s Day tree! This is a great Valentines art project for toddlers. via Live Well Play Together
Valentines Ooblek
Check out this Valentine’s sensory sink using conversation hearts and ooblek. Ooblek is so cool and so much fun to play with. Plus creating ooblek could also turn this into a Valentine’s Day science project. Either way, I think this is one of the best Valentines crafts for kids. via Little Bins for Little Hands
Valentines Day Tree Painting
This is such a cute Valentines craft. Draw a tree, branches and all and then use your fingerprints to make this Valentines Day Tree painting. The best part is all you really need is one or two colors, but the color lightens and darkens depending on how much ink you use so it gives the tree more depth. via Easy Peasy and Fun

Thanks for sharing! I have a nice Valentine craft idea. Here goes!
Go to your nearest dollar store and get ice-creme sundae glasses for $1 a piece. Fill each glass with Valentine candy of your choice like hearts, M&M, red, white and pink jelly beans. For the top of the sundae I used pink and white 1″ packing styrofoams which you can buy at Walmart, used a glue gun to glue them all together. I got 2 candy Pixie sticks for straws and a red or pink chocolate to replace the cherry on top. You will find a picture on my https://plus.google.com/#107040940913250872481/posts
I’m not sure which activity to do first! Thanks for sharing.
