I am busy working away putting together a bunch of Valentine themed activities for my kids. Some activities are Montessori so that is no big thing. On the other hand, I am venturing down that crafty road again, and, well, my brain hurts. That is why this paper rose craft is the perfect distraction!

Rose Crafts for Kids - Felt Rose

Felt Rose Activity

What a beautiful Felt Rose activity and tutorial offered from Love of Family and Home. I enjoy experimenting with different materials. In this case, we have felt versus paper, card stock, or tissue paper. The author adds tips that really pay off. I like the idea of using felt but I always have difficultly cutting felt. Any tips?

Watercolor Rose on Canvas

This Watercolor Rose activity from Deborah at Learn with Play at Home caught my eye immediately. So simple and beautiful. This particular activity is not specifically for Valentine’s Day but it can certainly be applied for the special people in your child’s life.

This science experiment is a joy to do with children. This post gives a decent overview of how to create Rainbow Roses. The post gives you a sense of where to go with it. Children will be mesmerized by the beautiful colors. Teachers will love all the science learning to be had from the Rainbow Rose experiment.

Magazine Roses

This activity is similar to a few listed here but totally knocked my socks off. The look of these Magazine Roses are vintage and would add a ton to any home or classroom decor.  Easy approach and a wonderful finished product the kids and adults will adore!

Hershey Kiss Roses

Super easy to put together, these Hershey Kiss Roses are sure to be a hit with the kids! You have to scroll about halfway down the original post to get to this idea. I thought it was cute. Make a bouquet or simply one or two flowers with pipe cleaners and you have yourself a creative Valentine.

Duct Tape Roses

These Duct Tape Roses look super cool. I will say that the tutorial may be a bit above a preschoolers head but it will certainly grab the attention of an older child. This tutorial from Instructables.com is straightforward. I am going to give it a whirl this coming week!

Have fun and let me know how it goes! :-)
