Handprint Heart – A Preschool Valentines Craft
Thursday we made Handprint Hearts for Valentine’s Day for our family. I found these great typography picture frames at WalMart for $2.50 a piece! So I grabbed 4, and we made one for the kids’ Dad, one for Cliff and I, and one for each set of Grandparents. The kids loved getting messy painting their handprints and were so proud of the end result of their Valentine craft.

Our Inspiration for This Preschool Valentines Craft
I got the idea for the handprint heart from Activity Village and A Little Tipsy. We printed ours with our hands the opposite direction, though, and then added the kids’ names with tiny letter rubber stamps. While I worked on stamping their names, they worked hard on their own open-ended valentines by cutting hearts, coloring, gluing on foam shapes, and painting patterned scrapbooking paper. It was a fun and creative day!

For Amazon Associates, you should have a box on the upper right of your posting box when writing a new post. You search whatever in that box, then highlight the words in your text and click the “link” button for in-text links, or click “link and image” for the box with the item and price and such to appear wherever your cursor last was. You might not have enabled it in your blogger settings yet though (look around in the 'Monetize' tab) [It should be enable “amazon product finder” at the veeeeeery bottom of the AA tab in Monetize.]
