Fun Heart Crafts and Activities for Kids

Whether it’s for a Valentine’s Day party, a themed birthday party, or an afternoon of fun and games, these activities are great for kids of all ages.

Heart crafts and games are typically enjoyed around Valentine’s Day, but any of these low-budget activities can be adapted to suit groups of any size, making them great activities to do at parties and in classrooms.

Valentine’s Day can be a great occasion for kids to show their creativity and have some good old-fashioned fun. Beyond the traditional homemade Valentine’s cards, kids can use hearts to make crafts and to play simple games. Start by showing kids how to cut out an easy, symmetrical heart from construction paper, and let the fun begin!

Heart Crafts

Q-Tip Painted Heart Art

This craft is very easy for children to do with minimal supervision and would be a great activity to do at a party. All you need is Q-tips or cotton swabs, acrylic paint, and a heart template of your choosing. With younger kids, I recommend printing out the large heart template, as that gives the kids more room to paint.

You can check out a helpful tutorial on Q-tip painted heart art here.

Heart Animals

Help your children cut out a handful of hearts using the medium heart and small heart template. Give the paper hearts to your kids and ask them to create animals out of the heart.

For example, for a heart mouse craft, they can use two small hearts as the ears and a medium heart as the head. They can even cut out even smaller hearts to use as the inner ears. Then just glue the pieces together to assemble the heart mouse. Use a black marker to draw the eyes, nose, and whiskers on the mouse.

For Valentine’s Day, they can even use these animal crafts as valentines for their friends. Encourage your kids to write a message on the back of the craft or the body of the heart animal.

Heart Bookmarks

Cut a rectangular piece out of cardstock. Have your children arrange small hearts on the cardstock and glue them in place. Now you have a simple but sweet bookmark that they can use while reading their favorite books.

If you want even smaller hearts than the small heart template provided, type in a value less than 100 in the “scale” box under printing options. You can shrink the hearts to whatever size is needed.

Heart Games

Flying Hearts

Cut out three dozen hearts about the size of a child’s hand from pink and red paper. You can do this easily by printing the medium heart template on the colored paper. Place all the hearts into the center of a light blanket or sheet and ask the group of children to hold onto all sides of the blanket.

Gently toss the hearts up and down, moving the blanket in a parachute motion. When “Hearts High!” is shouted, the children toss the blanket into the air, making the hearts fly. The child who picks up the most hearts wins the game.

Broken Heart Puzzles

Give the children a variety of sizes of hearts cut out of the same colored paper. Ask them to cut the hearts in half in straight lines, zig-zags, waves, or jagged lines. Put all the heart pieces into a container and shake them up. Have the children fix the hearts by matching the two halves of each heart back together again.

For a learning challenge, write numbers on one half of the heart and write the corresponding number word on the other half before cutting. The children then have to match both the cutting pattern and the two forms of numbers.
