Preschool Craft: Valentine Heart Placemat
Looking for a fun way for the preschoolers in your ministry to show their love this Valentine’s Day? Try having them make this Valentine Heart Placemat for someone special to celebrate Valentine’s Day.
You’ll need:
- 11×17 white construction paper
- red tempera paint
- plastic bowls
- foam
- a knife
- glue
- scissors
- stickers (check out these Bible verse stickers!)
- a photo of each child
- laminator (optional)
Preschool Craft: Valentine Heart Placemat
Before class, slice foam into heart shapes stamping. Then have children dip the foam in red paint and stamp heart shapes on construction paper. Help preschoolers cut their photos into heart shapes and glue them to the placemats. Finally, have the kids add stickers to decorate their placemats. To make the valentine heart placements more durable, you could laminate the finished crafts.
Read aloud John 13:34: “So now I am giving you a new commandment: Love each other. Just as I have loved you, you should love each other.”
Remind preschoolers that God wants us to love each other, just as he loves us. Encourage preschoolers to give the placemat to someone as a way to say, “I love you.”
