Today, we made a simple and fun open ended Emoji craft that is perfect for Valentine’s Day. This craft is designed with preschool aged children in mind and can be done at home or a classroom setting!
Materials Used
I started by drawing a large circle on the yellow paper for my child to cut out. Next, I cut out a variety of shapes for the eyes and mouth. I wanted to give her choices when making her emoji. You could also ask your child which shapes they’d like before cutting. If you are doing this for Valentine’s Day, then you definitely want to include some hearts!
I helped my little one cut out the yellow circle and then had her glue it onto the white paper.
Next, I let her pick which parts she wanted to put on the Emoji and had her glue them on.
This craft only took about 15 minutes and the end result was super cute!

A few days ago, I was nominated for the Bloggers Recognition Award by Kim from Kims DIY Tribe. These awards are always a lot of fun! Thank you so much for the nomination Kim. I appreciate it!
Not So Crafty Momma started about a year and a half ago. I was doing craft projects with my daughter often and other moms were always telling me how much they liked it when I shared our finished pr. I decided to start a blog to inspire other parents to craft more often with their children. The blog has grown and evolved a lot since its creation.
When I started the blog, I read a lot of advice. I have some advice of my own for any bloggers who may just be starting out! First, do not start a blog just to make money. I know there are many bloggers who make money, but I feel like if that is the only reason you start your blog, you may end up frustrated because not everyone will start making an income right away! My second piece of advice is to write about what you love. Writing will come easy if you pick a topic you are passionate about.
Now I’d like to nominate some other great bloggers for this award!
If you’d like to accept the award, there are a few rules!
1. Thank the blogger(s) who nominated you and provide a link to their blog.
2. Write a post to show your award.
3. Give a brief story of how your blog started.
4. Give two pieces of advice to new bloggers.
5. Select up to fifteen bloggers you want to give this award to.
6. Comment (or pingback) on each blog to let them know that you’ve nominated them and provide a link to the post you’ve created.

Materials Used
The prep work for this craft is really easy! I just cut out a tree trunk like shape and several rectangles for branches. If your child is comfortable using scissors, you can let them do the cutting.
First, I had my daughter glue the tree and branches onto the white paper.
After that, I gave her paint with cotton swabs and showed her how to use the cotton swabs to dab paint on the branches. We used a few different colors of paint. She also wanted to draw a heart on the trunk of the tree, so i helped her with that.
This craft project took about 15 minutes and didn’t make too much of a mess!
