Valentine's Day crafts with the kids.

This morning I did a little crafting with the kids. I know these are far from being amazingly inventive and there are yarn crafts everywhere way cuter then these, but that's all I had today. And for some reason I have a hard time coming up with cute kids crafts. So if anyone knows of a good site, please pass it on to this momma.
All we did was wrap some heart shaped wooden pieces with yarn and then hot glued them onto the canvas. Like I said, not the most inventive craft I have ever done, but I just love the simplicity of it.

I'm pretty sure that once Valentine's Day is over, the one with the 5 hearts on it will be getting a permanent home in my bedroom.







So what have you been crafting for Valentine's Day?

Looking for a special way to celebrate Valentine's Day? Then head on over to The O'Banions blog. They are the cutest little couple celebrating Valentine's Day a sweet new way.

    I really love this craft. I think it's pretty inventive, haven't seen anything like it, and I love the way the hearts really become 3-dimensional. Very cute!

    Very sweet! These would be a great idea for the kids to hand out in class (the hearts without the canvas, I mean).

    I think those are very cute. I have some yarn that's kind of silky and red. I think I'll be using it to make your cute hearts.
