Decorate a heart: invitation to create

decorate a heart- toddler at play (2)

This simple and quick to prepare Decorate a Heart: Invitation to Create Activity allows the little ones to get creative and stay busy!

All you need is a good variety of craft materials (like glitter, pom-poms, buttons, glue) and hearts made out of cardboard. It’s an easy recycled craft because you can use those extra or odd craft supplies you may have left over from previous crafts!

What is my child learning and improving?

  • Creativity (kids are choosing their own designs, colors, materials to use)
  • Fine motor skills (gluing, picking up pom-poms, buttons, holding glitter bottles, bending pipecleaners, etc.)
  • Hand-eye coordination (gluing any of the materials improves coordination between the hand and eye)
  • Independence (this is a great activity to keep the little ones entertained and content for a long time!)
  • Focus and concentration

TIP- talk about LOVE while you’re decorating the hearts! What is Valentine’s Day all about? Remind your kids how dearly God loves each one of us on this earth and that we should always tell each other “I love you!”, as often as possible! 🙂

 

Do this Decorate a heart: invitation to create Activity today! Your little ones will love it 🙂

Simple sensory play idea for today using beet-dyed Simple sensory play idea for today using beet-dyed rice and a few fun sensory tools 💗  Now, yes, you’ve read that right. I dyed this rice using a little bit of beet water (from boiling beets) and about a tablespoon of distilled white vinegar. Add all into a big ziploc bag, shake and spread out on a sheet pan to dry completely, I like to do this overnight. This recipe is without any dyes, which I try to avoid. Even food dyes contain “lakes” and toxic stuff.  The beet water made a lovely deep pink color, perfect for Valentine’s Day! If you try this recipe out, let me know in the comments if you enjoyed it AND TAG me so I can take a peak!  SAVE for later and TAG your friends below to share!
