I Turtle-Y Love You Valentine’s Day Handprint Card for Kids

The other day we pulled our sleeves up and made some handprint cards in no time at all. I love how our green turtle card turned out, probably because any craft with my kid’s handprints on it melts my heart (I know I am not the only mom and dad who feel the same way :). Once the paint dried I quickly drew a turtle, heart, and wrote the words, “I Turtle-Y Love You!” and wa-la; we had an adorable personalized Valentine’s Day card perfect for friends or family.

Because we do all our crafts in advanced so we can share them here on our blog, we have already passed out some of our Valentine’s Day cards. Ms. Tiger (age 4) gets too excited to wait. She gave this card to her grandma the other day and when she did my husband said, “She gave the cutest Valentine’s card to grandma” with a pouty lip. I gathered that my husband was hoping he was going to get the turtle card. We will be making another one of these before the 14th for sure! So let’s get crafting. See all our Handprint Crafts here.

Turtle Valentine’s Day Handprint Card

I Turtle-Y Love You Valentine's Day Handprint Card for Kids: An adorable homemade card to make for parents, grandparents, and friends

Supplies:
Green craft paint
Craft paper (We used white card stock folded)
Black pen
Red marker
Directions:
1.  Paint child’s hand green and make a hand print on the front of the card. Keep fingers slightly close together instead of spreading fingers apart as far as possible to make the turtles body.

2.  Once the paint dries, use your black pen to draw a turtle and write the words, “I Turtle-y Love You” or whatever cute and clever saying you come up with on the card. I also added a red heart using marker to make it look more Valentine’s-ish.
Drawing the turtle was really simple, just think of it like making a large D that’s laying on its side and adding a head to it. I put our card in a page protector sheet and used a dry erase marker to practice on the plastic, before writing on the actual card.

  • 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.
