Finding Valentine crafts for preschoolers and toddlers can be challenging, especially for a paint-phobic mom like myself!
While plenty of these Valentine crafts for preschoolers and toddlers present opportunities for messes, there are also some Valentine's Day craft ideas that are on the neater side. Those are the ones that definitely appeal to me!
These Valentine crafts for preschoolers all require some degree of parental assistance (and supervision!).
I like that there are a few that give little hands the opportunity to do almost the entire project. there's nothing cuter than a little one showing off every aspect of a craft he or she did on their own!
