Valentine’s Day is one of my favorite holidays to celebrate with kids because it’s all about love, creativity, and making memories. If you’re looking for a simple, meaningful craft that parents and grandparents will treasure forever, this We Love You Bunches Toddler Handprint Card is absolutely perfect.

This sweet craft turns your child’s handprints into a bouquet, paired with the cutest message — “We Love You Bunches” (for multiple kids) or “I Love You Bunches” (for one child). It’s simple enough for toddlers but still fun and sentimental for older kids, too.

Supplies Needed for We Love You Bunches Toddler Handprint Card

- Cardstock or folded construction paper (white or pastel works great)
- Paintbrush or foam brush (optional)
- Black or green marker
- Baby wipes or paper towels for cleanup
How to Make We Love You Bunches Toddler Handprint Card
Step 1: Prep Your Space
Lay down newspaper, parchment paper, or a plastic tablecloth. Toddlers + paint = messy memories (the good kind!).
Step 2: Paint the Hands
Paint your child’s palm and fingers using Valentine colors. You can do one color or mix and match for a bouquet look.
Step 3: Make the Handprints
Press their painted hand onto cardstock.
- For one child → do one or two handprints
- For multiple kids → add several handprints to look like a flower bouquet
Let dry completely.
Step 4: Draw the Flower Stems
Once dry, use a marker to draw stems from the bottom of each handprint. You can even add leaves if you want.
Step 5: Add the Sweet Message
Write one of these phrases:
- One child: I Love You Bunches
- Multiple kids: We Love You Bunches
You can write it across the top or bottom of the card.
Tips for Toddlers
- Use washable paint (trust me on this one)
- Do one hand at a time
- Have wipes ready
- Let them help pick colors — it makes them feel involved
If you’re doing this with a group of toddlers, pre-write the phrase and just let them focus on handprints.
Ways to Make It Extra Special
- Add the date on the back
- Write who it’s from (“Love, Emma – Age 2”)
- Add glitter glue accents once dry
- Turn it into a framed keepsake instead of a card
Make It a Valentine Tradition
One of my favorite ideas is making this craft every year and saving them. Imagine lining them up and seeing your kids’ hands grow over time — those are the memories that really matter.
Simple crafts like this remind us that Valentine’s Day isn’t about expensive gifts — it’s about showing love in the sweetest, most personal ways.
