Hello, I’m Louise and I usually blog at “Messy little Monster’.  Please do pop over to see all the crafts, activities, and adventures I get up to with my little monster Harry (5) and his sister Daisy (2). Thanks so much Maggy for inviting me to join your ‘31 days of love series’ again this year.   I LOVE Valentines Day crafts especially those that are simple enough for toddlers and preschoolers to join in with. Do take a look at the thumbprint heart magnets and mini canvases I have previously shared here and at our simple heart mugs.

How to make Cookie Cutter Heart Art

  1. Spread paint in your chosen colour onto a large plate.
  2. Spread glitter glue across a second plate. (This is optional but I love the sparkle it creates on the completed canvas.)
  3. Dip a heart shaped biscuit cutter into the paint and then into the glitter glue.
  4. Stamp the heart biscuit cutter onto the canvas.
  5. Repeat until you are happy with your design.

You might want to experiment with different sized biscuit cutters as stamps and different colour paints.
