18+ Fun Valentine’s Crafts & Activities for Toddlers

The start of the new year is the perfect time to spread the love with your children as Valentine’s day draws nearer. For parents of toddlers and preschoolers, spending time creating Valentine’s crafts and activities is the perfect way to introduce the holidays at home.

At the 2-4-year-old range, little kids love working with paint, glue, scissors and construction paper — all the easy to find and readily available supplies. So focusing on arts and crafts that use these materials is best and provides tons of fun without getting too messy. The result will be a fun playful experience for your toddler AND a cute art piece to decorate the home with.
