How to make a puzzle piece heart wreath craft for kids

I made this wreath with my kids, so we used Elmers school glue. If you want, you can glue the puzzle pieces with a hot glue gun.

I found it easier to paint the puzzle pieces with a foam paint brush. We used red, white, and pink paint, but you can use any colors that you like.

We also used a 6-inch wooden heart to make this wreath. If you don’t have a wooden heart, you can cut out a heart from a cardboard box (a cereal box will work).

To make it easy, I included a free ribbon template at the bottom of this post. It works best if you print it on cardstock.

This puzzle piece heart wreath will make a great Valentine’s gift for a family member or friend.
