Cardboard Roll Heart Stamp

DIY Cardboard Roll Heart Stamp ~ Easy Valentine Craft Ideas for Preschoolers

We are all about simple Valentines Craft ideas.  We recycled a watercolor painting my daughter created a while ago, into a beautiful Valentines Masterpiece.  Watercolors are one of her favorite mediums to explore.  This particular painting, was a brightly colored watercolor abstract.  The perfect backdrop for printing our Cardboard Heart Stamp.

Heart Cardboard Tube Stamping

  • We shaped a recycled cardboard tube into a simple Heart stamp.  This can be done by simply creasing the cardboard roll in 2 places and manipulating it into the shape of a heart.  It is really easy to do, but I find that kids find this step difficult so I make the heart stamps ahead of time.
  • Red Tempera Paint
  • Paper plate and felt to make our homemade stamp pad.
  • Previously painted heavy weight paper
