I love Valentine’s Day. I know we’re supposed to be all “ugh it’s a commercialized holiday,” but I think it’s fun. I love the color palette of red, white, and pink. I love all the hearts and the candy. I love the idea of telling someone — anyone — that you love them on this special day, and I especially love a good Valentine’s Day craft kit. Whether you’re super crafty or prefer something that just needs a stick of glue, there are so many fun craft kits that celebrate that little arrow-wielding Cupid and all the love he brings.

Craft kits are often known for being fun in the moment, but kind of a waste of resources after, especially ones aimed at little kids. (I can’t keep every piece of cardstock covered in glitter, you guys.) But these Valentine’s Day craft kits are really great because not only is there a wide range of skill set here, these are also Valentine’s Day crafts you’ll want to keep. Some you (or your kids) will want to give away as gifts, and some you will want to display in your home as Valentine’s Day decor. No matter what, it’s a win-win situation. So grab some fun Valentine’s Day snacks, pick your favorite kit, and get to making something in the name of love.

1A Magical Valentine’s Day Bling Kit

Want to have your kiddo feel like a bling queen? Then the Super Smalls Make It Heartfelt Mini Bead Kit is the perfect craft kit. With a bunch of beads and a few special charms, along with cords to make both a necklace and a bracelet, little crafting sweeties will really love bringing their jewelry ideas to life. This is great for them to do with a friend as a Valentine’s Day gift, or just to make their own love-themed accessories.

2A Sweet Tie Dye Kit

Tie-dye is always a crafting win and this Valentine’s Day set from The Neon Tea Party. It comes with plenty of dye, rubber bands, and reusable bottles, as well as two cotton bandanas to dye for a fun V-Day look. You can also use the kit to dye your own jammies, tees, or dresses if you want.

3A Darling Keychain Craft

I know, a keychain sounds like a strange Valentine’s Day craft to make, but this one is so sweet, and kiddos will love gifting it to their friends or family members to display. The keychain craft kit comes with all the wooden beads and heart, along with paint and sequins and glitter to make an absolutely adorable little accessory to your favorite bag or keyring.

4A 3D Flower Valentine’s Day Card Kit

Of course you can go buy a box of Valentine’s Day cards and that’s more than fine, but if you have a little crafter on your hands, consider this adorable DIY Valentine’s Day card kit. It comes with everything you need to make four cards featuring a mason jar full of flowers. All you need to supply is the glue.

Is it real or is it cake? It is real! But... it’s also cake? These fake cake craft kits from Jenny Lemons are ridiculously good, and it’s just a fun little way to make a Valentine’s Day-themed trinket for your shelf. It’s also, honestly, a really good way to practice your own cake decorating skills.

9A Sparkling Valentine’s Day Print

Is this not the fanciest craft you’ve ever seen? Craft kits often end up being something you just toss a few months later, but this diamond love letter painting kit is one you’ll actually want to hang up and cherish forever. Using sparkling rhinestones, you can apply them to pre-painted board for the ultimate glittery effect, and honestly? It’s pretty therapeutic.

10A Lacing Heart Kit

Valentine’s Day has a lot of lace and also a lot of... lacing? This heart string craft kit uses the time-honored skill of weaving and lacing yarn through holes to make something adorable, and the result is this sweet little wooden heart. This is a great quite time craft that you’ll want to display after.
