It's the middle of January, which means that Valentine's Day is coming up soon. As my girls get older, I try and find crafty ideas that will challenge them and teach them new skills. We've been working on sewing and origami as of late. I've shared many Valentine's Day crafts for kids over the years, this one is a little different.
I've put together a collection of fabulous Valentine's crafts for tweens and teens to make for their friends and family. A little more challenging than typical "kid crafts". Happy crafting.
