Printable Valentine’s Day Coloring and Activity Pages

, by . Leave a Comment

Coloring pages are great to have in the art center in the classroom or to keep on hand at home for when you need a little something to do. I used to like to print out coloring and activity sheets and keep them in my bag for when we had to wait at a restaurant or doctor’s office, or just to keep around for those moments when we needed to fill time.

If you’re looking for Valentine’s Day printable activity and coloring pages, here are a few great options for you.

Just Reed Blog has a cute collection of coloring pages that you can print, color and use as valentines, or just have kids color to display around the house or the classroom.

Primary Games has a ton of cute coloring pages with a love theme, including more detailed adult-style coloring pages and really simple ones. I like this hearts in a jar one because you could print it out and have kids color it and write things/people they love on the hearts.

10 Fun Ways to Decorate Easter Eggs

If you’re looking to go beyond the dye kits at the store for your Easter eggs this year, I’ve collected 10 fun ways to dye or otherwise decorate your Easter eggs. These are fun STEM and craft experiments for kids and are pretty fun for grownups, too.

One of the most popular ways to dye Easter eggs while still using items from the store is to use natural dyeing methods with vegetables, fruit and spices. I’m sharing links to a few different posts here because people have slightly different methods or recipes for achieving different colors, but the basic procedure explained by Real Life at Home is a good one. 

Check the recipe suggestions at Kaleyann, Mommypotamus and Your Home Based Mom, and let kids raid the kitchen or pick some fun things from the grocery store to try. Make sure to keep good records so you can repeat the process next year!

Another easy method to try is dyeing eggs with food coloring. This can make more vibrant colors than you tend to get from natural dyes, but it’s still an easy method and can be done with things you already have in the house. Check out these tips from Studio DIY to get started.

If you want to use food coloring to color your eggs but want to give them a different look, try this method of dyeing eggs with rice from Kids Activity Zone. Or get a marbled look by dyeing eggs with whipped cream, like these from My Home Based Life. So fun and messy!

For less traditional looking eggs, try dyeing eggs with old silk ties or shirts. The pattern from the fabric transfers to the egg in a unique way that’s a lot of fun to try. Get the instructions from A Thrifty Mom.

Use markers and coffee filters for an easy, pretty, low-mess way to color eggs. Learn how at The Savvy Sparrow. Or bring some nature to your egg decorating with these pretty pressed flower eggs from Little Pine Learners.
