H oliday crafts are a great way to connect with the children in your life, especially if you do the crafts together and plan to share them with others! Here are a few Valentine’s Day crafts to make with your loved ones this February. We have included crafts that will work with both younger and older children and teens. Enjoy!
These bird feeders are easy and fun to make with children of all ages. They make wonderful gifts for anyone who enjoys hosting feathered friends and has a space to hang them. Plus, with February being the National Audubon Society’s Great Backyard Bird Count, it’s perfect timing! The number of feeders this will create will depend on the size of cookie cutter you use.

* If you wish to make personalized tags, you will also need cardstock, a hole punch, paint for the fingerprint hearts and a marker.
These hearts made of decoupage tissue paper make a stunning gift either for your own home or for loved ones, and the best part is that children of all ages (adults included!) will enjoy making them and seeing the final result. If you aren’t familiar with Mod Podge, you can find it at craft stores or Target. I chose the gloss finish, but other types would work. Be sure to lay something down to protect your table!
I would recommend this craft for older children and teens, as it involves the use of pins and requires a little more dexterity than our other two projects. There are so many options for what you and your children can do with the hearts you create. Add a loop of string to the top and make an ornament, or string several together to make a garland — the choice is yours!
Card making is undoubtedly one of the most popular crafts of the Valentine’s Day season. Here are a few items that can come in handy for helping young children who want to make hearts but may not want to draw them.
