Valentine’s Day is just around the corner. Are you scrambling to find some quick and easy crafts that your kids can do? Well, look no further because here are some fun and easy Valentine’s Day crafts for kids to make.
Valentine’s Day Paper Plate Owl
Materials:
7-inch size paper plate
Red construction paper
3 red foam hearts
2 large googly eyes
Glue
Scissors
Directions:
Trace and cut out a long half-heart shape for the owl’s wings and a medium-size heart shape for the owl’s head. Glue the two wings onto both sides of the paper plate. Then, glue the medium-size heart on the top for the head. Add the googly eyes, two foam hearts for the feet and one foam heart for the beak.
Red and Pink Glitter Rocks
Materials:
Small rocks
Glue
Fine paintbrush
Glitter
Directions:
Gather a handful of small rocks that have a smooth surface. Wash the rocks and allow them to dry. Once they are completely dried, add a small dab of glue to the center of each rock. Then, using the fine paintbrush, create a heart shape in the glue. While the glue is still wet, sprinkle some glitter on the heart shape. Shake off the excess glitter and allow to dry.
Pasta Valentine’s Day Card
Materials:
Red construction paper
Pencil
Heart-shaped pasta, uncooked
Glue
Paintbrush
Directions:
Fold a piece of red construction paper in half. Trace the shape of a heart on the front of the card, using a pencil. Then, glue the heart shaped pasta pieces around the heart-shaped trace. Allow to dry.
Heart-Shaped Bird Feeder
Materials:
¾ cup of white flour
½ cup water
8-ounce packet unflavored gelatin
3 tablespoons corn syrup
4 cups bird seed
Baking sheet
Wax paper
Heart-shaped cookie cutter
Cooking spray
String
Directions:
Using a large bowl, add the flour, water, unflavored gelatin, corn syrup and bird seed. Then, line a baking sheet with wax paper and spray the inner part of the heart-shaped cookie cutter with cooking spray. Place a cookie cutter on the wax-lined baking sheet and add the bird seed mixture, ensuring you pack it down well. Then, once the baking sheet is full, use a chop stick to make hole on the top of each bird seed heart, to use for the string. Allow the bird feeders to set overnight, then tie each one with string and hang outside on tree branches.
What kind of Valentine’s Day crafts do you like to do with your kids?
That is insanely cute!!!! I Love owls and kind of want to make one for myself haha!
These are super cute! My 3yo is at the perfect age to try some of these (even if the finished product doesn’t work out!)
That owl is too adorable to not make a few! And painted rocks would be really chic to display afterwards in a glass heart bowl!
I love that bird feeder. It doesn’t have to be Valentine’s Day for me to do that one. It would be great anytime. Plus, it draws all the pretty birds to the house!
I really like the bird feeder! I think my daughter would love doing this and seeing the birds eat it.
My kids love doing crafts with plates. We stock up on them when we find colored ones on clearance. Love this owl!

What a cute craft, I used to love making these kind of things with my kids when they were little.
I miss this stage of crafting with kids. When my daughter was younger, we always made crafts like this. The bird feeder one was always a hit – a craft plus entertainment while watching the birds.

My kids love making bird feeders. I haven’t tried this recipe yet. Thanks for sharing.
