How to Make the Valentines

Ok, this is the ridiculously easy part. Are you ready?

  • Put pompoms and jewels into separate bowls or containers. You don’t have to separate them, but it might encourage your kid to add some variety. If your kid is anything like Sweet Pea, they are liable to pick 100 purple pompoms and call it a day.
  • Write a variety of greetings on the craft foam hearts, before decorating them. I just used standard greetings like ‘Be Mine,’ ‘Be My Valentine,’ ‘My Friend,’ etc.. If your kid is older, they might enjoy writing the sentiment on the foam heart themselves.
  • For little kids (probably 3 and under), squeeze glue dots all over the foam heart. If your kid is older, they can do this step themselves as well.
  • Let you kid decorate the hearts with the craft jewels and pompoms.
  • Let your Valentines dry!
