These Valentine’s Day crafts for preschoolers are the perfect way to spend a cozy afternoon.
Especially Valentine’s Day crafts for preschoolers because the kids can get into it a bit more than a toddler would with crafts.
There are so many more options when you get to the preschooler age when they’re more controlled in their ways (at least a little bit).
And they can be used as gifts for grandparents or teachers in the classroom too!

We are grandparents who look forward to having time with our four year old grandchild. We are looking for seasonal /holiday activities rather than daily nudge type activities.
