Here's a really easy and fun valentine craft you can make with your preschooler! Cut out four hearts--one large one for the body, one for the tail, one for the fin, and one for the lips. Let your child glue the pieces together and then add a googly eye!
If you want to add some pizazz, throw on some shiny heart-shaped confetti for scales.
Then give it to your favorite fish-loving friend.
This craft was inspired by an illustration from the book Valentines Day by Brenda Haugen, Illustrated by Todd Ouren.
However, after making this craft a few days ago, I discovered another book to go along with it! It's called My Heart is Like a Zoo
by Michael Hall. I ran across this book at a Barnes and Noble in their Valentine's Day section.
It's a cute book, but the thing I like most about it is the illustrations. Each animal is made almost entirely out of hearts! You can see the how this was done with the lion on the cover. Surprisingly, there is not a heart fish in this book, but the concept is the same. It would be really fun to recreate some of the other animals featured in the book. (Especially, for the next time I find myself confined to my kitchen for 5 hours!)

What a cute Valentine's Fish! That book looks so neat, I can;t wait to see if my library has it. Thank you for linking up to stART :0)
So cute... Abby and I made a handprint valentine this morning (with the heart in the middle). So fun and easy... her attention span is about 2 minutes lately, so this was perfect.
Happy potty training to you.. .we've on day three in panties during the day and we've done the last two days with no accidents. I think we're finally getting there!
Oh, I have to get my hands on that book! We love heart animals.
What a fun book and cute project!
I "heart" this project- and this book!
We have to get this book too - and what a cute fish! I hope potty training is going well :)
Cute project...I love having the kids make things out of shapes...so fun!
This looks so neat! LOVE the pic of your kitty and the fish. :)
No heart fish in the book? I've seen My Heart is Like a Zoo advertised but haven't had a chance to look at it yet. Heart animals make an adorable Valentine's Day craft. Your cat doesn't look too interested though. Maybe if it was tuna flavored?
So simple and cute! What a cute kitty!
That is really cute!
Great craft! Now that Diego can cut out his own hearts I think that I'll have him try to make an animal out of hearts.
