Valentine’s Day Tie Dyed Doilies

Love is in the air! And all over our craft room… Thanks to these adorable Valentine’s Day tie dyed doilies!

By February, the kids are stir crazy from being inside and I’m pulling out any projects or toys that I have stashed away for emergency boredom.

This project is great because it keeps the kids busy for hours making multiple Valentine’s. And they LOVE dripping or painting with water and making a mess. I used a dropper but a paint brush would work great too! It’s also perfect for exercising those fine motor skills by coloring with markers, color bleeding, cutting, & letter practice.  It’s also a great time to sit down and discuss Valentine’s Day and those that you love.
