VDay Toddler Art



I've seen a lot of posts about Valentine's Day crafts and found one that I thought was easy and Drew would enjoy. I needed another decoration for our front entry way table anyway, so what better than to have my toddler make one for me!? The kid loves to paint and is very particular, so I knew the one I found would be perfect.

Supplies: a toilet paper roll, some paint of your color, a plastic plate and some craft paper.


Step 1: Roll the toilet paper into itself to create a heart shape.


Step 2: Put a good amount of paint onto the plate.


Step 3: Dip the toilet paper roll into the paint


Step 4: Place the dipped end onto the paper!


That's it! Easy? Totally! Messy? Nope! Pinterest-worthy? Probably not but your toddler will have fun and that's all that matters.


I stuck Drew's in a frame for everyone to see right by the front door!

  18. So easy and cute. I love that it looks nice enough that you could frame it, too. Sometimes kids' crafts look a little too clunky for my taste — although I might change my mind once my babies are born. :)
