Valentine Crafts for the Classroom at School

Did you used to have a party at school when you were growing up. I have been that kid.  Also, I have been that teacher and the room mother. We all remember being kids and getting so excited about the Valentine’s Day party in the classroom. Here are some ideas that you can use if you are a teacher or a parent. They are tried and true. Lots of them are great for Last Minute Valentine’s Day Ideas too. Many of these are great to do at a Valentine home party or with a Girl Scout troop!

Ten Reasons to Craft

I am going to say this again.  Crafting is just a great idea.  It is proven that crafting can be really good for mental and emotional health.  Studies show that making and crafting can lower anxiety.  Another benefit to crafting is that it creates connection.  When we make things and give them to others, we spread kindness and love.  Here are my top ten reasons to craft with kids, and I mean kids of all ages.

1. Mental Health Benefits – Crafting puts me in a good mood.
2. Self Expression – Crafting allows me to express myself.
3. Education and Growth – I learn new skills by making things.
4. Connection – Crafting connects me others through workshops, classes and gifting.
5. Decor – Through making and crafting, I can totally customize every aspect of my decor.
6. Gift Giving – Gifts is totally my love language.  I love to make handmade gifts.
7. Offline Time – Crafting keeps me off of my phone and social media. We all know this can be beneficial.
8. Income – Because I craft and sell items that I make, I have an additional income source.
9. Fun – I like to have fun and to me, making things is fun.
10. Socializing – Attending events where crafting is a part gets me out and around others with like minds.

I hope you loved these Last Minute Valentine’s Day Ideas and found something that inspires you to be creative. Be sure to pin this post ofr later to quickly get back to all the fun ideas.

XO,

Laura
