A Wintery Valentine Craft for Kids
We thought we’d put a fun Valentine’s Day spin on our Winter snowflake cutting. Here’s what we used to make our snowflake valentine craft…
Snowflake Hearts Valentine Craft
Supplies:
- coffee filters
- watercolors, paintbrushes, & a cup of water
- scissors
- cardstock
- double sided adhesive
- Washable Mod Podge for Kids
- foam brush
- white paint marker
How We Made Our Snowflake Hearts:
Some tips that might help with your Snowflake Heart Valentine Craft:
- Try using lots of water and letting paint colors bleed into one another.
- Let painted snowflakes dry completely before cutting.
- Fold snowflakes in half first and cut a rough heart shape.
- Check out this snowflake cutting tutorial if you need help.
- Save the tiny cut out pieces to Mod Podge down around your snowflake heart.
Here are Some of Our Snowflake Hearts on the Window, too:
Did you cut any snowflakes this winter? Have you done a Valentine craft yet? I’d love to hear about it in the comments!

This is cute! Did you put modgepodge on the snowflakes in the window? I had wondered if it would make paper snowflakes stiff and was goin to try it this holiday season but didn’t get arount to it. Of course, it’s still January – maybe I should still try it!
Krissy @ B-Inspired Mama says
Nope – no mod podge on the window ones. Just taped them up in the window. They’re delicate, but beautiful! 🙂

Sometimes the simple solutions are the best! 🙂
Denice says
Just curious, how do you fold the heart to get it to look so cool?

Just found your valentine craft on pinterest and featured it on our Candy Free Valentine page at http://www.thebestkidscrafts.com
We LOVE painting on mommy’s coffee filters but have never created a heart! Thanks for the inspiration!
Krissy @ B-InspiredMama says
Thanks so much! LOVE all of the creative ideas on your site. 🙂

These are so adorable and I love the window idea. I’d love to link back to you on my blog (if that’s alright!) Thanks for the great ideas!
Krissy @ B-InspiredMama says
Absolutely! Thanks so much for the kind words. 🙂

These are so pretty. I’m thinking of doing this with a group of girls I work with at church. We have about an hour to do it – is that possible? With the dry time, etc. I mean, I don’t mind sending them home with a wet card from the modge podge but what about the water color drying??? The other thought is water coloring them for them ahead of time and then letting them do the rest of this. This is a group of 8 and 9 year olds, do you think it’s a good fit for the age group? Thanks!!
Krissy @ B-InspiredMama says
Definitely a good fit for the age group, but not enough dry time for the watercolor. Try using markers to color them instead. (Maybe try one ahead of time to test it out.) Or just cut them out of white coffee filters and glue them down onto pink or patterned scrapbooking paper. I’d love to hear how you make out!
