One fun and easy Valentine’s Day craft for preschoolers is creating heart-shaped animals. Simply download and print out templates of different animals with heart-shaped bodies, such as a bear, owl, or cat. Have the preschoolers color and decorate the animals with stickers, glitter, and markers. This activity not only promotes creativity but also helps with fine motor skills.
Another adorable craft idea for preschoolers is making love bug cards. Print out a template of a cute bug shape with heart wings and antennas. Have the children color and decorate the bugs with googly eyes, pom poms, and pipe cleaners. They can then write a sweet message inside the card for their loved ones. This craft is perfect for developing hand-eye coordination and language skills.
