I’ve shared some Valentine’s Day activities for preschoolers and some for toddlers before but today I thought I’d get a little bit more specific and share some Valentine crafts for 3 year olds.
Why three? Well because I wrote this originally when my daughter was three and even as a blogger myself I often find having a look through Pinterest that a lot of the stuff I see if super pretty but not quite suitable for her age.
To help both you and me I asked some of my favourite craft bloggers what Valentines Day crafts they’d done with three year olds (not just stuff that theoretically kids can do) and these are the ideas they suggested, hope you love them as much as I do!
