Love is in the air and we are starting to do some fun hands-on Valentine’s Day theme activities in the classroom! Art projects are a great way to inspire creative thinking and invite children to express themselves. These heart art projects are a fun and easy activity when you’re stuck inside too!

These art projects are all centered around hearts so you can use them for a Valentine’s Day theme too! We’ve included projects that rely on process art techniques so kids can freely explore instead of trying to create an exact replica of an adult-made craft.
