Kids Craft: Rainbow Hearts Banner

Hearts Banner, is a perfect project to do during the quarantine. We all would have some cardboards lying around at home. Creating something from nothing brings great joy to little ones. And in the end, kids will have their own masterpiece to decorate their room with.

I and my 3-year-old enjoyed making this together. We painted it my little one's favorite rainbow colors. She is obsessed with anything rainbows, unicorns, or animals. We hope you will enjoy making it too.

You need cardboard,  scissors, and a heart template to start with. Here I am using a heart cardstock cut out from a valentine banner that I made long ago. You can draw a heart and cut it out or print a heart shape and cut it to use as a template. Having a template on hand makes it easy to get all of them in the right size.

Using a pencil trace around your heart template on cardboard. You can trace as many hearts as you like. We did 7, each one for each color of the rainbow.

Then I cut the hearts out using scissors. If you are letting your kid handle the scissors, then use your own judgment. My 3-year-old is too young to cut cardboard, so I did that for her. 

She had so much fun coloring the hearts. We used acrylic colors. Best Tip: Use a cheap cookie tray for painting little things with little ones. It always helps keep the mess contained. I got my cookie tray long ago at Walmart for 80c. It was well worth it. 

After the paint dried, I coated them with clear varnish to give them a nice finish. And let dry again.

Stick the hearts to a thread using tape. And tada! hearts banner is ready to add color to your walls.

My little one put it above her play kitchen. I think it looks so cute. What do you think? Let me know in the comments. I would love to hear from you. Thank you for stopping by.
