Tin Foil Heart Valentine's Day Craft

I love holiday themed crafts that still allow for plenty of individual creative expression. That’s why I’ve been so fond of tin foil crafts this past year. While they all have a common shape and theme, every child creates their own unique pictures and colorful designs on them.

The same rings true for this tin foil heart Valentine’s Day craft we are sharing today. It’s just like all of the others we’ve made, shiny, vibrant and colorful, and it’s a fabulous craft for kids (and even adults) of all ages.

This is an especially fun way for toddlers and preschoolers to work on beginning pre-writing skills by drawing lines and shapes. Even colorful scribbles turn out gorgeous on these tin foil creations.

Cut a heart shape out of a piece of cardboard. Any spare box or a cereal box will do.
