Valentine’s Cards for Preschoolers to Make

| |

If you are regular reader of Red Ted Art, you will know that we have an extensive set of Valentine’s Cards for Kids to make (both at home and as Classroom Valentine Cards) already! This is a big list of gorgeous homemade Valentine’s Day Cards. However, I thought it would be useful to specifically “Pull out” the Valentine’s Cards for Preschoolers to Make. We have ane extensive set of Preschooler Crafts for all the seasons. Including more general Valentine’s Crafts for Preschool.

Preschool Valentine's Day Crafts

These Preschooler Valentine’s Day Cards focus on a number of things – e.g. fine motor skills, pattern recognition and following simple patterns and process to help preschooler’s developement. Many of the cards shared here today, are suitable for as both Classroom Valentine Cards or to make at home. SOME (!) however, may be more suitable to make as a “together” project. Needless to say, any valentine’s day card made by toddlers or preschoolers is a precious keepsake too! I hope you like them. And I look forward to adding more over time!

Handprint Valentine’s Cards (and fingerprints & footprints)

Who doesn’t love a handprint craft or footprint craft for Valentine’s Day (or Mother’s Day for that matter). My kids are actually 9 and almost 11 now.. and I have to confess.. I wish I had made MORE Handprint crafts with them when they were small. They really grow up fast! Sigh. Here are a some super cute Handprint Cards for Valentines that make great keepsakes too!
