    Love Bug Valentine Kid's Craft (Video)

    Published: Feb 8, 2016 · Modified: Jan 22, 2021 by Christina Dennis · This post may contain affiliate links · This blog generates income via ads · 1 Comment

    Valentine's Day is coming soon, and it's my girls favourite day of the year! They love helping me decorate our home with hearts and pink, and we also enjoy coming up with Valentines for their classmates together. We thought up these love bug valentines for this year, and my daughters were totally smitten with these little guys! These DIY Valentines would make sweet gifts for classmates and friends and they're a great non-candy Valentine idea!

    These love bug "pets" are a really cute Valentine craft idea for kids!

    If you stick the love bugs to the foam hearts with double sided tape or a very small dab of Mod Podge, recipients can pop the love bug off and keep it as a pet. 🙂

    For some of their love bug valentines, my girls used a sharpie to draw on mouths, noses... even hair! The possibilities are endless with these. The best part? Making them kept my 7 and 4 year old occupied for almost an hour. YESSS!

    Here's my video tutorial on how to make these:
