Tissue Paper Heart Doilies Valentine’s Craft for Kids

Paper doilies always peek my interest when they start showing up in the stores around Valentine’s Day but I am never sure what to do with them. Their lacy edges always seem so perfect for Valentine’s Day Crafting so this year I bought some and let the kids figure out what to do with them. They came up with a kid friendly heart craft that can be hung in the window to look like stained glass, glued to the front of a homemade card, or hung up to decorate the house with them (ours are currently on our window).

Tissue Paper Heart Doilies

Pin me please! 🙂

Supplies:
Paper doilies
Clear contact paper
Tissue paper (We used red and pink)
Scissors
Glue
Hole punch (optional)

Directions:
1.  Cut a heart out of the center of the doily .

I folded the doily in half, traced half a heart, and had my daughter cut it out. She loved opening up the doily to reveal the complete heart.

2.  Cut out a piece of contact paper that is larger than the heart cutout and give it to the child to decorate with tissue paper.

My kids used scissors and the hole punch to make tiny pieces of tissue paper. Little Dragon recently turned 3 and is just learning to use scissors. Little Tiger was thrilled to be able to use the hole punch. She has a difficult time with it on paper, but the tissue paper was thin enough she could punch away all by herself. By the end of this craft we had little red and pink dots everywhere–it was like a Valentine’s Day party!

3.  Glue the contact paper to the doily, let it dry, and then hang in a window and enjoy.

I find it a nice change from the winter white scene currently taking place in our backyard.

  • These little bugs took no time at all to make and are a pretty self-guided craft for kids. Little Tiger finished chopping potatoes while helping me make dinner and found our bags full of lids on the counter (3 bags to be exact–no lid gets left behind in our house :). Before long I looked over and there were 3 bugs staring back at me and no mess in sight! Since the little bugs sitting on my counter make me smile when I look at them I thought you should have some too.
  • This activity helps kids learn to count to 100, introduces them to place values, helps with number recognition and number relationships while allowing them to be actively involved as they learn instead of just staring at a chart with lots of numbers which can be overwhelming.
  • We love stars around here so naturally one of our favorite things that live in the ocean is starfish aka sea stars. They come in all different shapes, sizes, and textures so we have provided you with a free craft template to make a big, medium, and small size starfish craft with your kids. We also show you how to take your craft to the next level by giving it texture and folding it to give it dimension, and if you want you can give it added color with paint. Each one will turn out amazing!
  • When this sunset Tissue Paper Craft is hung in a window it magically seems to glow resembling the beauty of a real sunset on the horizon. No glue or scissor skills are required, so this craft is easy to clean up and perfect for kids of all ages!
  • One of the most beloved children’s authors has to be Dr. Seuss who happens to have a birthday coming up on March 2nd. Did you know he wasn’t technically a doctor?– but that’s okay we still love him anyways! To start celebrating my kids picked out Horton Hears a Who!
  • The set comes in a print-in-color or a color-me (coloring book) version. You can print the set out and assemble it, or extend this activity further by letting your students color their own spinner increasing their recognition of each picture.
