Valentine’s Day Popsicle Stick Love Bug
Easy Valentine’s Day crafts are something that are a must right now. My 4 year old loves every holiday and she loves celebrating them all with decorations, food and crafts.

Since we are a homeschooling family and she is in preschool holiday crafts are perfect for including in her school work. I am having my uncrafty husband help me with her stuff so anything I plan has to be super easy to do and this Valentine’s Day craft fits the bill perfectly.
If you have a classroom of kids this is a great craft to do with them as a Valentine’s Day party activity.
You most likely have all the supplies you need for this craft in your house or school supply cabinet, which makes planning super easy.

Supply List
- Regular size popsicle sticks
- Small popsicle sticks
- White paint & paint brush
- Red paint pen or marker
- Craft eyes
- Craft pom poms
- Construction paper
- Pipe cleaner
- Hot glue
How to Assemble Valentine’s Day Popsicle Stick Love Bug
Evenly line up 7 regular size popsicle sticks.
Using hot glue gun, run a line of hot glue the entire length of a small popsicle stick & press it horizontally onto one end of the 7 sticks – repeat this step on the other end as well. Allow the glue to cool and then have the kids finish the rest of the project. You can also use regular glue, but I find it holds better when you use a glue gun.

Flip the newly made board over and coat with an even layer of white paint, let dry.

Use paint pen or marker to draw on hairline, heart shaped nose and mouth.
Next, glue the eyes in place under the hair.

Use paint pen or marker to add hearts to body.

For the antennae, cut the pipe cleaner in half and attach from the back of the board – if desired, add craft poms to the end of each.

Using the construction paper, cut out 2 heart shaped pieces for the wings and decorate as desired.

Attach the wings with glue from the back of the board
