Here are some super cute craft ideas for the whole family to enjoy.<\/strong>\r\n<h3>Think pink with cards<\/h3>\r\nTo make cards, you\u2019ll need some heavy paper or card that your child can decorate \u2013 look for coloured card such as red and pink. Next, let your inner romantic loose by choosing lots of pink and red materials for your crafts. Gather glue and glitter, felt, buttons, fabric, ribbon and whatever else takes your fancy. Take a look in your local craft or fabric shop, gift shops and newsagents to see what you can find.\r\n<h3>Keep granny smiling<\/h3>\r\nDon\u2019t forget that many people, especially doting grandparents, love to receive a personalised craft their grandchild has made. So, get your little one to draw around their own hand on the front of a greetings card and draw around the hand-print to make it look like a vase of flowers.\r\n\r\nRemember that you don\u2019t have to make a card &#8211; how about something ceramic instead? A simple beaded necklace is a brilliant idea and you can paint the letters of the person\u2019s name on the beads. Or give an old picture frame a new lease of life with paint and glitter, then put a photo of your child in it.\r\n<h3>Sew simple<\/h3>\r\nIf your kids enjoy a bit of sewing from time to time, why not decorate a card by sticking several felt hearts to the front? Cut several hearts from felt (try using two or three shades of pink), then attach with glue to the card &#8211; each on top of the other for a striking 3D creation.\r\n\r\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.familiesonline.co.uk\/things-to-do\/arts-and-crafts\/fun-valentines-day-craft-ideas\/?utm_source=KidStart&amp;utm_campaign=Valentines%20Day\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">View the original article here<\/a>\r\n\r\n&nbsp;\r\n<h3>Related Article<\/h3>\r\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"mx6blIapNN\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/why-we-should-all-support-world-book-day\/\">Why We Should All Support World Book Day<\/a><\/blockquote><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" src=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/blog\/why-we-should-all-support-world-book-day\/embed\/#?secret=mx6blIapNN\" data-secret=\"mx6blIapNN\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" title=\"&#8220;Why We Should All Support World Book Day&#8221; &#8212; KidStart Magazine\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe>\r\n<h4><a href=\"https:\/\/www.kidstart.co.uk\/?t=lwk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">KidStart \u2013 a little help along the way<\/a><\/h4>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Get creative with the ones you love and make unique Valentine\u2019s Day cards and other easy crafts February the 14th has long been associated with St Valentine and giving a card to your loved one however, it\u2019s also the perfect opportunity to get creative with the kids.
