Family Watercolor Heart Banners (and our 6 Favorite Valentine's Crafts)

This super sweet watercolor heart banner is a great Valentine's Craft celebrating the entire family.  During a recent playdate, I had the preschoolers make their own heart banners for their family.  The children enjoyed painting, gluing, and identifying all the members in their family.  Here's how we made this craft.

Family Watercolor Heart Banner

How To Make Family Heart Banners:

1.  Cut out identical paper hearts from watercolor paper (one for each person in the family.)

2.  Encourage kids to paint their hearts with pan watercolors.  (We also used a few oil pastels too.)

3. Cut out slightly larger hearts from red construction paper.

4. Help children write the names of their family members on the hearts with Sharpie markers

5.  Help children use white glue to adhere their painted hearts to the construction paper hearts.

6. Use a piece of masking tape to stick the hearts to a piece of yarn.

That's it! This is super pretty and simple Valentine's heart craft that all kids will enjoy making.
