Do you need a simple, quick valentine creation that anyone can make? Our Valentine art is for you!
This post is also a Valentine Idea blog hop organized by Mama Peapod!
To create a Valentine that even toddlers can make you need:
- paint
- paper
- scissors
- markers or crayons
If you are painting with toddlers you might consider using CCK’s edible finger paint recipe. This is just plain old non-toxic paint from a bottle:
Paint! Your child’s art won’t look like this and that is wonderful! Let them create their own design.
Once it is completely dry cut a heart from the paper; an older child can do this themselves:
Have your child draw or write their valentine message on the back:
Turn it over and enjoy their creative endeavor.
Who wouldn’t love to receive a custom design from a little person?

Love all these ideas! Thank you!
Thanks for visiting Sheryl.
I truly would love a homemade card like this!
Me too. As a mom there’s nothing like fingerprints and ‘notes’.
What a great idea! These turned out really cute!
Pinning for the future! This would be great as a card for anytime.
They were so simple. Glad you liked them!
These are so sweet! Love the idea of cutting shapes out of their artwork to use instead of throwing away the endless papers.
