Kids will love celebrating Valentine's Day by making this adorable handprint heart tree craft. The Valentine's Day craft only requires a few supplies, so it is a simple craft to prep for and make with small children. In fact, the personalized handprint and heart stickers make this Valentine's Day Craft a sweet keepsake gift for toddlers and preschoolers to give to parents or grandparents for Valentine's Day. Here are more simple Valentine's Day Crafts for kids you will enjoy making this year too.
Have a child place their hand with their fingers spread open and their upper arm on a piece of brown construction paper. Use a pencil to trace around the arm and fingers. Cut out the handprint and arm. This makes your tree trunk and tree limbs.
Use a glue stick to add glue on the back of the handprint. Glue it at the bottom of a piece of light blue cardstock paper.
Grab your self-adhesive heart stickers. Remove a heart sticker from the sheet, peel the backing off it and place it at the top of your handprint on your finger tree limbs. The self-adhesive hearts come in two different sizes with four colors: red, light pink, dark pink and white. This makes it so there are lots of ways for children to customize their handprint heart tree craft.
Continue removing self-adhesive hearts from the sheets, removing the backing and placing them around the fingers of the handprint to fill your tree branches with hearts.
After you have finished filling your tree with hearts, your handprint heart tree craft is finished. Children can write a special message on the back of the craft and give it to a loved one for a sweet Valentine's Day gift. Or display the heart tree up at home for Valentine's Day.
