Heart Sun Catcher – Valentine’s Day Craft

Christmas decorations are down and our house looks empty – time to focus on hearts and cupids!  I decided to try a fun Valentine’s Day craft with Jude this year.  Jude likes doing crafts but his attention span is pretty short which means I have to find crafts that are really interesting to him and that do not take a long time to set up or complete.  We made three of these Heart Sun Catchers and will be gifting 2 of them from Jude to both sets of Grandparents for Valentine’s Day.

Heart Sun Catcher – Valentine’s Day Craft for Preschoolers 

Supplies Needed:
Clear Con-Tact Paper
Red & Pink Construction Paper
Glitter and Sequence (or anything you want to add to your heart)
Scissors (not shown)

Directions:

Start by cutting hearts out of your construction paper.  Easiest way is to fold the paper in half and draw a half heart and cut it out.

Lay out a good amount of con-tact paper sticky side up.

Lay your hearts down on the sticky con-tact paper.

Time to let your little one decorate!  Jude added sequence and then glittered all of his hearts.  The best part about this craft – NO GLUE!!

Leaving a good 1/2 inch of con-tact paper bordered around the hearts I cut around the heart to create the sun catcher.

Simply tape or hang the creation in your window for easy Valentine’s decorations made by the little ones in your family.
