Supplies you will need:
To make this easy valentine craft for kindergarteners, you will need:
- Cardstock or Construction Papers in two colors at least. One color for the flower, and the other preferably green, for the stalk/ bookmark.
- Adhesive- something kid friendly like a white glue or glue stick
- Heart punch- I used a heart squeeze punch to create all those paper hearts. If you have an electronic die cut machine, you can use that too to cut out a sheet of hearts.
- If you don’t have a heart punch of die cut machine- just grab a sheet of heart stickers or a bag of foam heart stickers like these instead!
- Some paper scraps to cut out the center circles.
Easy Valentine Craft For Kindergarten Tutorial Step by Step
Step by step tutorial for a Easy Valentine Craft For Kindergarteners
Total Time: 10 minutes
Step 1. Punch Paper Hearts
You will need a bunch of paper hearts for this craft. You can use a hand held heart squeeze punch, a die cut machine or heart stitckers- whatever works best for your.
For one bookmark, you will need- two green heart shapes and 5 flower colored hearts.
As you can see, I punched out a whole lot of hearts. My kids and I assembled about 50 bookmarks, enough to gift Valentines for their entire classes. 
Step 2: Cut green strips
Cut strips of green cardstock to measure 1 inch by 8 inches. Onto this adhere two green heart leaves using adhesive.
Step 3: Adhere the Hearts
Cut a circle from pink cardstock to measure about 2 inches in diameter. This does not need to be a perfect circle shape, as it will be covered up by the hearts. Kids can practice their cutting skills and try cutting the circle. Glue 5 pink hearts around the edge of the circle to make a flower. Cut and glue a smaller circle to the center.
Step 4: Adhere and Assemble
Adhere the paper flower from step 3 onto the green strip of paper bookmark from step 2. Finally, write the words “Happy Valentine’s day” or something similar using a black marker. 
And here is our finished easy valentine craft for kindergarteners. This could also be made with younger pre schoolers, they would just need help writing the sentiment onto the green bookmark stalk.
TIP: Kindergarten kids can try to use the squeeze punch to make hearts with supervision from an adult. The paper punch is super satisfying to use!
