Heart suncatcher craft for Valentine's Day

Today I’m sharing a simple and adorable heart suncatcher craft your kids can make for Valentine’s Day.

For more Valentine crafts and learning activities, see my Valentine Activities for Kids page.

To make these cute heart suncatchers, you will need the following materials:

Liquid watercolor paint
Plastic dropper
Coffee filters
Container to hold liquid watercolor paint
Scissors
Optional: tray to contain mess
Optional: paper towels to put under coffee filters

For our heart suncatchers, we chose to use liquid watercolor paint in several colors in the pink and purple color range.

My kids used a plastic dropper to drip the paint onto their coffee filter. It’s fun to watch the paint spread out across the filter and mix with the other colors around it.

We let the paint dry. Then we folded the filters in half to cut half a heart. By opening the coffee filter after cutting, we had a perfectly symmetrical heart cut out.
