I love integrating process art into the classroom, and at home. In fact, I think it should really be the basis for preschool art on a day-to-day basis.

But I’m also a fan of crafts, too! As long as they aren’t of the “you must do them exactly the same way” variety. There’s a lot of room in crafts to let kids make choices, express their individuality, and be creative.

Crafts, like process art, allow children to explore different early learning concepts. Here are a few skills kids can practice while crafting:

  • Multi-step directions
  • Fine motor skills
  • Color identification
  • Creativity
  • Shape identification

Since Valentine’s Day is quickly approaching, I wanted to put together some fun heart crafts for preschoolers to make! Mind you, these would be fun outside of Valentine’s Day too!

Materials for Your Heart Crafts

As always, I’m going to suggest that you take a look at your supply closet first. See what crafting supplies you already have lurking in your art stash. If possible, choose an activity based on what you already have on-hand.

Of course, if your arts materials need to be replenished (or you just want to splurge on some new items), then go for it!

Here are a few material suggestions for your heart crafts for preschoolers:
