How To Make Love Bugs Valentine's Day Craft For Kids

Prep Time: 3 minutes
Active Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 13 minutes
Difficulty: Beginner
Estimated Cost: Less Than $20

This easy Valentine's Craft is perfect for kids from preschool to early Elementary age. Love Bugs made with Pom Poms will keep everyone happy & busy.

Materials

  • 1 inch, or bigger, pom poms in Valentine's Day colors (red, pink, white, etc)
  • Self-adhesive foam stickers in desired shape (hearts are ideal, but others may be used)
  • Pipe Cleaners in Valentine's Day Colors (reds, pinks, white's, misc)
  • Wiggly eyes in different sizes
  • Quick drying tacky glue or hot glue (only use hot glue with parental supervision for older kids)

Tools

  • Scissors
  • Tacky Glue or Hot Glue Gun
  • Waxed Paper

Instructions

    1. Cut the pipe cleaners into various lengths to create the antenna's, ears, wings, and/or feet for the love bugs.
    2. Foam stickers can also be used as antenna, ears, wings, and/or feet.
    3. Encourage children to really make this project their own by mixing various colors of pom poms, pipe cleaners, stickers, and wiggly eyes.
    4. Children can attach the pieces with quick drying tacky glue or have an adult assist using a hot glue gun. Hot glue will give better results but does require more adult supervision (or actual helping).
    5. Allow love bugs to dry completely on waxed paper before allowing children to play with them, or transferring them.
