Valentine's Day Craft Supplies

Before we jump into all the fun Valentine crafts, let's talk basic craft supplies.

I often get asked about all the craft supplies I have at my house and what are some of the basics that parents should have at home to keep the creativity sparked, but not overtake the whole house. I highly recommend a few little bins of supplies or one supply box.

For most projects, I would include the items below. Remember, you can hit up your local dollar store and grab all these items inexpensively. No need to even hit the craft store. You can also buy the bin there!

glue stick and/or craft glue
acrylic paint and/or craft paint
white paper and/or card stock
markers and/or crayons
pair of scissors
googly eyes
pipe cleaners
paper plates - for crafts and to put paint on
paper bags (lunch bags) - for crafts and paper
Totally optional, but if you're going leading up to Valentine's then grab a bag of foam hearts too. 🙂

Without further ado, here are some easy peasy Valentine's craft ideas for both younger kids and older kids.
