Valentine’s Day Suncatcher

Suncatcher crafts are fun for kids to create any time of the year. Turn them into a heart shape and they make a fantastic heart art project!

We love to pass out hand made valentines, and when they can be candy-free, that’s even better.

Plus we use simple supplies, so it’s an easy craft to create with larger groups of kids.

Tips for making these heart suncatchers.

  • Roll out a larger sheet of hearts for multiple kids to create or to make more hearts with one kid.
  • The washable marker can be removed once the hearts are cut out by rubbing with a paper towel.
  • This project can get messy! We recommend creating outdoors or in a space where the mess will not be an issue.

Instructions

  1. Roll out a piece of contact paper and draw your hearts on the clear side of the paper. You can do one large heart, a few small hearts, or a combination of both!
  2. Peel off the backing of your contact paper and lay it sticky side up on your work surface. Use tape to secure it down.
  3. Using the eraser side of your pencils dab from the ink pad onto the contact paper. Use a different eraser with each color if possible to keep your colors from mixing on the pad.
  4. Encourage them to fill up the hearts as much as they can even going over the edges a bit with the dots.
  5. Once the hearts are filled place the second sheet of contact paper on top of your design, sticky sides together.
  6. Press out any bubbles and cut out your hearts.
  7. You can leave them just like this or punch a hole and hang with yarn/string.
