Valentine’s Day Crafting: Start With A Valentine’s Day Tree!

I love creating paper snowflakes and paper hearts! This activity was initially created by Julia of Roots of Simplicity for Kids Activities Blog a million years ago when it was known simply as Quirky Momma. It’s perfect for your preschooler, or kids of any age, and is a fun way to work on fine motor skills like cutting and folding paper.

How Do I Make A Valentine’s Day Tree Craft?

Let’s start with making the paper hearts!

Fold paper in half and cut 1/2 a heart on the fold to create hearts.
Next, fold the heart several more times, and clip and snip corners and folds to create unique hearts.
Fasten the hearts to the branches you gathered and place them in your vase.

Isn’t this just a beautiful table-top decoration? A Valentine’s Day tree is a really cute centerpiece for your classroom or family Valentine’s Day celebration, and easy to make for kids of all ages! Fasten any leftover hearts to tree branches in your yard!
