To save a little extra time, I like to enlist the help of a classroom volunteer to prep the mosaic pieces ahead of time. This will help make creating the Valentine’s mosaic heart craft a lot quicker during your Valentine’s Day party stations.

At each table, I place baskets of the different colored, pre-cut shapes so the students can easily grab the colors they would like to use on their heart craft.

Once each student has their large, foam heart, it is time to create our Valentine’s mosaic heart craft masterpiece!

I start by adding a dollop of Aleene’s Tacky Glue to the center of each heart. Then, I demonstrate how to spread out the glue using a cotton swab. It works the best to have the students spread the glue over the entire heart before adding any mosaic pieces (not shown).

Next, we affix the shapes to our hearts. We talk about how to leave a small space between each shape as we arrange and glue them. To help make the mosaic pieces stand out from the foam heart, I also explain to only use pieces that are not the same color as their heart.

Once all of the shapes are added to the Valentine’s mosaic heart craft, it is time to set them out to dry.

Last, we add a small strip of magnetic tape to the back of the Valentine’s mosaic heart craft so the students can hang them on their fridge or any other magnetic surface at home.

This simple and quick heart craft has always been one of my students’ favorite Valentine’s Day party stations!

It is not only easy for students to create in a short amount of time, it is also easy for classroom volunteers to understand and help students put together. Plus, it makes a great keepsake for loved ones to display for Valentine’s Day each year!

As a dedicated Kindergarten teacher for nearly 20 years, I believe the words “fun, play, and creativity” can sit right alongside the words “developmentally appropriate, engaging, and rigorous.” Learning is meant to be fun and messy!
