Sprinkle love around with this cute Valentine’s Day heart wand craft! My son and I had a blast making these. We really liked mixing and matching our ribbons! This is a great craft to make with preschoolers and other young kids as it gives them a chance to add some whimsy and magic into their creative play!
Supplies Needed:
- wand template (free PDF)
- markers
- scissors
- craft dowel rod
- ribbon
- construction paper
- tape
- glue stick
How To:
Print off the free PDF Valentine’s Day heart wand template. There are 2 hearts on the template so you can make one for the front and one for the back of the wand.
Color your hearts and cut them out. Glue them onto a piece of construction paper, leaving space between them. Next, cut out a circle around each of the hearts, creating a border of the construction paper.
Tape one of your hearts to the dowel rod. Next tape or glue your ribbon to the back of the heart. We used a variety of ribbon that I had at home. My son and I each picked out favorites. As you can see we mixed and matched colors, widths, and textures. Be creative with your ribbon choices and cut them however long you like them.
Now that your ribbons are in place, it is time to put the other heart onto the wand. Using your glue stick, cover the back of the other heart in glue. Attach it onto the back side of the heart that is already taped to the dowel. Now your wand is ready for playtime!
