The Artful Parent is where I found the directions to make these sparkling Glitter Rocks. All you have to do is get some rocks, some craft glue, and some glitter...and you've got a kids craft project that will delight the kids who make them and the kids who receive them. This craft idea can be used for any holiday by changing the colors of the glitters and the shape of the holiday symbols.

For Valentine's Day I would try pink, red, and purple glitter but you can use whatever you have or let your kids pick their own colors.

To make these beautiful string and glue hearts you will need the following supplies:

• White string
• Thread
• Wax paper
• Tape
• Elmer’s Glue
• Paper cup
• Watercolors (reds & pinks)
• Paintbrush
• Scissors
• Optional: glitter
• Plus you can print out a free heart template.

Form a heart with your rustic flower wire, string some yarn around it and make a design by going back and forth across the front and back of the heart. These yarn hearts are super simple to make and they look great...plus it's a fun craft project for the kids.

Choose reds, pinks, and purples for your yarn, plus you can add other colors to really create a festive Valentine's Day window display.

This craft idea, Embroidery Hoops, is so easy to make, and look how great they look. The directions I found called for sewing, but I think glue would work well too.

You will need embroidery hoops in different sizes, felt in holiday colors, extra material scraps, embroidery thread, needles, pink and red buttons, sticky fabric glue or a hot glue gun with glue stickers and scissors. I don't sew, but this craft would be manageable even for me.

And if you don't want to sew, use the glue. I really like these. They might be nice with handprints in them. They would last forever and a Grandmother would really, really appreciate this gift idea! (Hint Hint)

You will need:

1. 1. Sticks
2. Loc voc spray paint
3. 3. Recycled paper.
4. 4. Scissors
5. 5. A pencil
6. 6. Hot glue/hot glue gun
7. 7. A large jar or vase

Such a simple idea with such beautiful results.

I love these heart soaps and they aren't that difficult to make...you will find the directions on Martha Stewart. You will need a few supplies and they are:
