How to Make It
Step 1:
Let your preschooler go through the newspaper ads, choosing a handful of Valentine’s Day ad products to clip. If he/she is adept with scissors, let him/her do the clipping.
Step 2:
Clip an odd assortment of colors and sizes of letters spelling V-A-L-E-N-T-I-N-E.
Step 3:
Cut a large heart shape from the construction paper. Hint: Fold the construction paper in half then draw and cut it out, creating an even-sided heart.
Step 4:
Pour a dab of glue on a piece of paper or paper plate. Have your preschooler dip his/her finger in the glue for spreading on the back of each Valentine’s Day newspaper clipping. Glue the clippings around the edges of the heart to create a festive Valentine’s Day border.
Step 5:
Glue the letters in the center of the heart to spell out “Valentine”.
Step 6:
Make a hole in the top of the Valentine’s Day Heart Collage and string a loop of curling ribbon or yarn for hanging on the wall.
