Adorable Valentine’s Day Love Bug Craft For Kids

Love is in the air. I mean adorable-looking Love bugs that are. With Valentine’s Day fast approaching, your kids will be itching for hands-on activities.

This Valentine’s Day Love Bug Craft will make a great activity for school parties, play dates, or any day leading up to Valentine’s Day! These love bugs are super simple to make.

Remember those cute little pompom art projects you used to make as a kid for Valentine’s day? You know the ones… pompom bodies, googly eyes, and little antenna ears. Well, that childhood favorite is now going to be passed down to your children. 

Let’s craft together and create memories.

Supplies Needed For Love Bugs

Keep in mind that you may already have some of these items in your current craft supplies.

• Large Pom-Poms
• Pipe Cleaners
• Googly Eyes
• Foam Hearts
• Hot glue gun

How to Make These Valentine’s Love Bugs

STEP ONE: Cut your pipe cleaners to about 3”-4” long. You will need two for each bug, so keep that in mind when cutting. Curl the ends of the pipe cleaners (these will be your antennae), and set them aside.

STEP TWO: Put a spot of hot glue on the ends of the antennae and press it into the pom-pom.

STEP THREE: Next, glue on the googly eyes. Then glue the heart, with the pointy part of the heart facing backward onto the bottom of your pom pom.

Now you can pair your Love Bugs with a cute note, or piece of candy to make an adorable Valentine’s gift! My daughter loves making these to give to people. She insists on having people keep them in their pockets, so if they ever felt sad or lonely, they could reach into their pockets and squeeze the love bug to feel loved!

If you made this fun craft, we would love to hear all about it. We get so excited when we learn that you have chosen to make one of our crafts featured on Inspiring Savings. Please leave us a comment.
