Craft Round-Up: Valentines by Baby & You

This Valentine’s season, we've trolled the web for some easy handmade card and gift ideas to commemorate the tiny people that evoke such big love in our lives.

With just a few art supplies and some artistic direction from you, even the smallest of family members can lend a hand...or foot...to some sweet Valentine's Day crafts!

Toddlers (and even older children) will love the opportunity to work with colors, water, and an eyedropper or two to make these sweet heart-shaped window decorations - and (shhhh! Don’t tell!) they’ll be working on their fine motor and coordination skills while they’re at it.

These watercolor wax resist designs make a beautiful Valentine's card or gift from your elementary school student - and seeing their artwork come to life against the colorful background also provides the opportunity for some science-related discussion and experimentation.
