Heart Name Puzzle
This fun and simple Valentine's craft doubles as an educational tool to work on letters and your child's name recognition. You can easily make this your own with whatever craft materials you have in the house!
Materials needed:
- Cardstock or construction paper (cardstock will hold up better over time)
- Scissors
- Markers
- Any craft materials to decorate (glitter, pom-poms, stickers, sequins, etc.)
Step one: Cut a heart out of your paper (or draw it and let your child work on those scissor skills to cut it out).
Step two: Write your child's name with a bit of space between each letter and then draw various types of lines to divide up each letter.
Step three: Cut on the lines to turn the heart into a puzzle.
Step four: Let your child have fun decorating however he or she chooses.
Step five: Put the puzzle back together!
