This thumbprint heart art craft makes a great Valentine’s Day gift for parents or grandparents. Create a Valentine’s keepsake with this kids Valentine’s Day craft.
I saw these cute wood heart plaques at my local Dollar Tree and I knew they would be perfect for this Valentine’s Day craft.
I love watching my kids work on their art projects. They have different styles with their art.
After a couple of minutes, my son said he was finished. That is the thing with art, when the artist says it is done, it is done.
My daughter added a lot of thumbprints to her wooden heart.
To make this an extra special Valentine’s gift, you can glue a picture of your child in the center of the heart.
