Colorful Valentine Cards
An Activity for Preschoolers:
Crafty, personalized cards to give to loved ones on Valentine’s Day.
Before You Begin:
Provide as many creative materials as possible for this activity. Allow each child to use her/his own creativity in putting together a card. Resist the urge to ‘suggest’ what the child should do.
Activity Goals:
To make a fun holiday greeting card for parents or family members.
To develop cutting skills.
To express personality and individual creativity.
Furthermore:
This same activity can be used for any holiday. Simply change to materials to reflect the current holiday season.
Let's Get Started
STEP 1
Provide cardstock for the child to create a card. You may want to fold the cardstock paper in half to make a card shape. However, folding is not necessary and you have the children create a flat-faced card instead.
STEP 2
Demonstrate how to use Krazy Cut scissors (if the children are developmentally able to use scissors) to make fun and unique patterns to glue on the card.
STEP 3
Have the children add stickers, embossed foil paper, craft tape, and ribbon to personalize.
