It’s never too early to share the message that “Jesus loves you.” with our kids. This craft is a great way to introduce your little ones to God’s love. Talk about His love and read the verse (1 John 4:9) to your child while they create this craft. Bonus: you will want to actually keep this craft!

Simply print both pages on cardstock or heavyweight paper. Cut the tiny heart out. Cover your child’s hand with paint (red is recommended) and place the heart in the center of the palm of their hand. Help your child place their hand down in the space between the text on the next page. Once dry, add your child’s name and the year to personalize it.

I’ve included an editable Canva template so you can make this printable your own.

Use this fun and meaningful craft at church or in the home to celebrate Valentine’s Day by focusing on God’s love.
