Valentine's Holiday Jewelry Crafts for Children

Valentine's Day is rapidly approaching, and a fun way to celebrate is with holiday jewelry crafts for children. You can do these crafts with your own kids or as part of a group activity at school or in church.

The simplest Valentine's Day crafts involve beads and basic jewelry strands or strings. Make sure if you choose to work with beads that the children are old enough, as they can be a choking hazard to younger children.

At a crafts store, pick up some red, white, and pink beads to string on necklace and bracelet threads. You may also want to pick up letter beads to write "I Love You" messages on the jewelry.

Set up the beads in containers and give each child the appropriate length thread for a necklace or a bracelet. Let them place the beads in the arrangements they wish or write their messages of love for their recipients.
