Valentine Fingerprint Rock Hearts
Make Valentine’s Day extra special this year with these keepsake Fingerprint Rock Hearts! Little kids will love dipping their fingers in paint to make these adorable hearts and big kids will enjoy drawing in faces!
Keep one for yourself as a keepsake and make several to hand out as cute Valentine gifts for friends, family or classmates.

- Rocks (these look great)
- Paint (we used acrylic paint)

Friendship Rock Hearts – Instructions:
Step 1: Pour some paint onto a palette (we just used a scrap of cardboard)
Step 2. Have your child dip their finger onto the paint covering the fingerprint fully and pressing firmly onto the rock forming one side of a V shape. Have them spread their finger around a bit around the sides. Repeat and fill the other side of the V shape to make a heart.
Step 3. Allow the paint to dry fully and then draw cute characters and features!
Step 4. Optional: spray your rocks with a clear varnish (adults only) to preserve the paint.
Hand out your heart rocks to spread love!
