I’ve been compiling some seriously cute and seriously easy and seriously cheap Heart Craft Ideas for you to do with your Happy Buddies this month.

I’d love to know which ones you will try!

How CUTE are these little Walking Finger Puppet Hearts from Family Fun?

I picked this craft out to do with our church’s Sunday School classes this week. 🙂

Click Image for Idea

Decorate your Happy Home’s windows with these simple and beautiful Stained Glass Hearts from All Kids Network.

Click Image for Idea

Finally!  A craft from Martha Stewart that doesn’t intimidate me! 🙂

These Felt Heart Button Covers couldn’t be easier to make.  Just take red or pink felt, cut into heart shapes, and make a small slit in the center.  Slip over the buttons on your Happy Buddy’s shirt for a sweet little Valentine Fashion Statement!

I think it would be even funnier to put a bunch on your Happy Hubby’s shirt for work as a surprise. 🙂

I saw this in Family Fun this year and thought – BRILLIANT!  An easy way to create an Adoily-able T-Shirt for Valentine’s Day with your Happy Buddies!

Simply take a T-shirt, a heart-shaped doily, a sponge and some paint.  Then put some paint on the sponge and paint over the doily and onto the heart.  When you peel the doily away you will have a fancy heart design!

Blissfully Domestic has a wonderful way to recycle all of those old snack and cereal boxes by using them to make a Cardboard Heart-Shaped Garland.

I think these would look adorable hanging around everywhere to bring some Valentine cheer!  Frugal and cute!

Click Image for Idea

This Paper Heart Wreath from The Hybrid Chick is soooooo simple to make and what an adorable Valentine decoration.

Click Image for Idea

This idea is so clever!

A Mom With a Lesson Plan cut out several paper hearts, numbered then, and then had her toddler Happy Buddy do a Heart Hop from one numbered heart to the next.

A great activity that is sure to bring about a good nap later! 🙂

Click Image for Idea

No Time for Flashcards took the Heart Hop a step further by adding activity suggestions on the hearts instead of numbers.

She played some music and had her Happy Buddy hop from one heart to the next.  Whenever the music stopped, her Happy Buddy would perform the task of whatever heart he landed on.

Click Image for Idea

I shared this idea last year during our 25 Days of Love Fun.

Give each person in your Happy Home a Heart Attack on their bedroom doors!

You can read more about this fun tradition HERE.

Click Image for Idea

The cross… The very place that the Greatest Act of Love happened.

The Crafty Classroom featured this sweet art project where you take a white crayon, draw a cross, and then paint over it with watercolors.  The precious symbol will be revealed with each stroke of the paintbrush!

Click Image for Idea

Here is another fun Heart-Shaped Water Color Resist Valentine from BHG that reveals secret Love Notes. 🙂

Click Image for Idea

And, finally, these Love Goggles from Make and Takes are so funny, so simple, and so perfect for Valentine’s Day that I had to buy 300 red pipe cleaners and teach all of the women at our MOMs group yesterday how to make them!

Just what you need to greet the Happy Hubby when he comes from work!

Here’s a pic of some of the mommies and their festive eye wear. 🙂

Happy Heart Craft-ing!

    Thanks for all the great ideas! I wanted to comment that the water-resist secret love notes/cross reveal didn’t work for me with a “washable” crayon, but it worked great with a regular one. My 3 year old and I had fun doing other hidden pictures/words/numbers, too! Plain cardstock worked best for us.

  • I find myself spending more time looking at the world and the problems instead of looking at these 4 heroes right here. This is what needs our attention. This is where change begins. Spend time praying for them instead of scrolling vanity. Spend time memorizing God’s Truths instead of dwelling on flawed opinion. Spend time laughing and playing and breathing deep the smell of their necks. Spend time teaching and training and living in the ✨light✨. This is the future. God has great things coming.

  • Life Updates >> Ryan - This weekend I broke the garbage disposal for the 14th time in our 17 years of marriage and he has not yet given up on me and my lack of understanding of what NOT to put down there. Love always hopes! Noah - Playing on the school basketball team and totally killing it this year! I have no idea what is happening on the court most of the time, but I know enough when the ball swishes through the hoop! Jethro - Creative, funny Jethro. He loves to make people laugh. And he loves to

  • Baby Zion is now officially acting like a toddler! We have mastered the words “No” “Mine” and how to go boneless when you don’t want mom to pick you up. Gearing up for this season of parenting with some truths >> ✨It is kindness that leads us to repentance.✨ It is love that covers over a multitude of sins.✨ It’s funny how doing this the third time isn’t as angering as it was with the first 2! Either I am more tired and not caring as much OR God is helping me to share His beautiful grace more as I

  • I went to church today. It was so good and so needed. I haven’t been in weeks. It’s funny how I let myself get comfortable with that. I tell myself it’s easier to just watch church at home online. Which is not true because basically every time I do that the children start a wrestling match in the living room while I am trying to listen to the sermon. Or the baby poops during the opening song. Or someone is inevitably injured. But I tell myself how nice it was to not wake up early. How lovely to stay in

  • We got fancy last night for our neighbor’s wedding. ‍♂️The wedding was about an hour drive away, so we had lots of time for car conversations without kids. This usually means that I vomit all the stuff I have been trying to process on my own and Ryan swoops in with a few ultra wise one-liners that talk me off the ledge. Things I learned on the drive... 1. Stop watching the news. Our souls were not made for so much information. 2. Never stop dreaming. Even if your circumstances are hard and you feel all your creativity and hopes

  • When I had covid, this precious mama of mine called me every day. She dropped groceries on our doorstep (and even decorated them with Christmas lights ). She had food delivered to our house. She wore silly Christmas glasses and FaceTimed me to make me smile. She watched every single one of My ABC Truth Tree videos and liked them. She texted me every day to make sure I was taking medicine and drinking enough water. She prayed for me and reminded me that it would all be okay when I called her in tears on Christmas Eve worried that
